About this Class

Learn to make your own guitar necks from board to chord! In this class, students will learn to make a guitar neck for any scale length. Whether it’s an acoustic, electric, or classical guitar neck, participants will be shown the process from start to finish. During the weekend, everyone will have the opportunity to make their own neck of their choosing. John will cover making necks from solid blocks as well as from a 1” thick board using a scarf joint and stacked heel.
