Building a CBG neck
About this episode
In this episode, Adam discusses building a CBG neck with an integrated fretboard and shares resources for learning more about the process.
I was scanning Facebook this morning and came upon a post about building a CBG neck with an integrated fretboard. Here is the post (name withheld) "Question for the brains trust I normally make my necks from a piece of timber with another thin piece with pre rounded edge glued to the top as a fret board. My question is, is it really necessary our can I simply round off the single piece then cut in and fit frets." What a great question. I had some thoughts about ways to do it and where you can see videos about it to help if you have the same question. Here is Del doing what he does best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdnUk7CvMag The incredible Mike Snowden at 13:34 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDrCtp7c118&list=WL&index=29 Check out CBGs AUS here https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1GTSMAVqop/ You can see what I'm up to at www.birdwoodguitars.com Order KILLER STRINGS at Australia - www.killerstringsaustralia.com USA - www.killerstrings.com Thanks to all who are supporting the podcast and The CBG Builder Group https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1LQ5ffdhw3/ See you next time Adam.
