Re: Advice Requested for Bolt-On Neck Order of Operations

Thanks for the kind words about my neck joint. I have now completed at least 100 instruments with this joint. No problems or complaints from customers at all!

Re: Planning a workbench, any tips?

Think about what you are working on (guitars). You need to get to all sides. Here is my take on that. 24" square table.

Re: Advice Needed - When should I install frets onto my neck?

I agree with Alan. I fret the instrument after it is completely put together. As a matter of fact, fretting is the very last step in the completion of the instrument.

Re: got the luthiertool slothead fixture.

I have probably made over 100 slot head instruments with this jig. It is absolutely terrific! If you follow the instructions, your slot head instruments will be great. It is the closest thing to perfection, as far as jigs go!!
