Neck Joint part 2










Next, all of the angles from the body are measured and then the slots on the neck are cut. I do the cutting on my dimension saw, it's a fairly straight forward task cutting both sides on either side of an angled blade because it's a compound angled cut. The fit naturally has to be tight and once cut roughly I feather the joint into the right size taking off about 0.05 of mm at each pass.
Aye, I know that's small, but I've measured it before and you can see and judge that with the naked eye, promise!
Once the joint is good the truss rod is inserted and the inner heel carved and polished.
