Beautiful neck, well done! but I really have to ask.. Why aren't you masking your fretboard with tape when working on the frets? Even when glueing the inlays, it would've prevented the spilling into the wood, like you mentionned. I'm not judging, seriously wondering if there's a reason why you don't do it.

I've never seen anyone glue the fret board to the neck blank before routing the shape before....I like it, I may steal that idea and try it myself, haha. I like the idea of being able to use alignment pins without having to be so careful about their placement. Great video!

I wanted to ask a pro about the fretboard glueup and truss rod potential problem. Maybe that blue pvc shrink wrap makes it not matter. I need to know as I’m about to glue my first fretboard on. I do feel like the tape trick may not be as foolproof as thought. Glue squeeze out would likely still make it to the truss rod, even with the tape trick. Does it matter at all on how glue may negatively impact the truss rod functionality? Thanks!

Nice maple! Man I love the truss rod jig! Me want! How much? Serious I'll buy one! Bro, ya gotta get that $7 sanding disk for a drill from home depot for shaping the back of the neck. Also works well to get that contour down by the truss rod. Trust me on that one! The drill is slower than a grinder so you have tons of control on how much material you take off. Best shaping tool ever!

Hey Dan, can you take a maple neck that is already finished and roast it? I am pretty sure you can't do that but I just wanted to be sure. I have a couple of maple necks from a couple of cheap guitars and I have a Tele neck in a cheap Tele Kit that I was thinking I wanted to put a roasted maple neck on, but instead of buying one I was wanting to just roast one of these I already have. So what ya think?

I Don’t think you have a good unferstanding of what a roadten neck is. I’ve been in BioChemical for 15 yeats and use large scale Virtus Sublimators. You change the chemical structure of the wood via vacuum and heat i.e. Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state. Do yeah um…

When using the neck template to guide your drill press for tuner holes don’t they eventually need to be replaced as the template holes get nibbled away? Same for the inlay dots.
