Mini Guitar Lessons – Lesson 20 – Cover the Neck with the Maj7 Arpeggios

I have been thinking about it lately and as a new project, I want to build a guitar. I am going to buy everything I need (body, neck, electronics, etc) and assemble it. How hard is it to set a neck?

This is for all of those new CBG builders out there that don’t have the tools to really carve, or mainly don’t have a band saw. I don’t have a band saw, I just found a way around needing one to make nice, simple CBG necks for around 3 dollars a neck…….hope this helps….pleased building.

im looking for a les paul that also has a quick neck…im hoping something like the Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro has a relatively quick neck…im sick of my hands getting stuck on the neck on les pauls, i like the sound and the way they look, but i cant stand the way the feel…im just looking for a quicker neck….any1 know any les pauls with quick necks?

My dad continues the guitar build. In this video he makes the template for the neck pocket, and we draw out the shape of the guitar with crockery.

Taking on the task of building my own guitar and I’m hoping to use a bolt on style neck (not building the neck) with a tune o matic style bridge. I reckon I have to route the neck pocket at an angle for it to work and not have high action. Just wondering if anyone has some tips or advice.
