I’ve decided to do something a bit different with the neck of this build. I’ve decided to break up the piece of quilted maple with two mahogany stripes. It’s hard to come to terms with cutting a beautiful piece of maple in two, but it looks pretty striking and adds extra strength to the neck.
So I sat the stripes on top, hoping I was making the right choice.
Then cut it and re-glued it together.
The next step was to cut it into… well… A neck.
And then I’ll add the truss rod into the neck, and the carbon rods on either side of it.
It was a difficult piece of maple to work with, so I hope the grain turns out to be worth all the effort!
