Even though I already know how to do this, I found this video to be incomprehensibly scattered.

I'm not sure what has changed in your production (Ben and Co) but the videos are looking beautiful lately... The new set, the soft lighting, the multi-cam shoots... WOW. Let the cat out of the bag... What are you doing to get that look? :D

Actually it is simple to calculate the angle for all who own a pocket calculator. If "H" is the additional height you need for the bridge and "L" is the distance from bridge to neck-body-joint, then the angle is: Angle = INV tan (H/L) Remark "INV tan" is sometimes labelled "tan-1" on calculators.

Hang on. How do you bandsaw away the excess from the top where the fretboard is? You've got the bit where the fretboard overhangs the 'body' part of the through-neck - aren't you going to undercut that by using the bandsaw the way you suggest?

I've actually avoided this all together on my first build by just lifting the neck off of the body just under the height of the bridge and keeping it level. the action turned out beautifully

Why do you need a break angle on a through-neck, especially with fender-type bridges? You could have the fingerboard stand up 2-3 millimetres parallel to the body top. It makes fabrication a lot easier.

Hi. I love learning about guitars and I've been binge watching all your videos. I have to say you should be a professor at university. You sir have the gift of the gab. The question i would like to ask is: when placing the straight edge on top of the fretboard, is it supposed to hover right about a tuneomatic bridge or touch where the strings are going to sit in the saddles?

My issue is do you just shave the bottom of the guitar? Shave it out of the neck pocket? Cut it from the fret board? Neck? I wish I could she it in the build

love your videos and have learned a lot from watching them. I have a guitar I'm currently customizing, and it is a name brand but a lower level guitar. it has dot inlays, which I'm thinking of changing anyway, but currently, most of the dots are unevenly inlayed and are at least half below the hole drilled for them. is there a way to level them, or should I drill them out and use rose wood plugs?

Don't do break angles. Just recess the bridge. Also if you use a hipshot or small profile bridge, you don't even need to recess or make a break angle at all.

I don't understand why people can't grasp this simple procedure, this is the second video where Ben clearly shows how to find the break angle. Stop complaining and just rewind and re watch until it sinks in your head. Thanks for the video Ben. Still waiting for the DVD les paul style build.

Nobody ever needs to know the break angle. It's a useless piece of information. Which ever way you shape the body for correct bridge height, at no point of the process do you handle an angle. You don't measure the angle, because it's too inaccurate. You measure horizontal and vertical distance.
