With the body complete, I'm now ready to begin making the neck for my acoustic guitar. Since the back and sides are maple, I decided to make the neck from maple as well. I'm using hard maple for the neck shaft and bookmatched elm for the headplate. I used a 14 degree angle for the headstock and inlaid a small elm oval with the Hayley Guitars logo. The logo is surrounded by some maple purfling to match the body. There's still a ways to go, but I feel this is a great start to this neck. In the next episode of this build, I'll be cutting the mortise and tenon and making the fretboard. Stay tuned.

Looking great Jeff. The elm veneer is a nice touch.

After a few more drying/curing months, I'm going to try making a neck from a piece of Catalpa wood. This series is going to help me a lot!

Thats awesome. I've never worked with Catalpa myself but the trees are awesome to look at.

Good stuff. If you had glued the headstock on top of the neck scarf, it wouldn't have been so long.

In you Wednesday show, you mentioned you liked the carbon rods. So much you said you would use them all the time. Will that include electrics?

@homebuiltshop 8 ай бұрын

Yes, I use them on electric necks as well.

Urm, I'm building along with you but I'm stuck about about how to size the cut out in the headstock template so it allows for the routing and then the headstock insert. Help! Pleeeease!

You can really make it whatever size and shape you want. Just make sure its small enough to stay away from the tuner holes.
