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. Students will make use of jigs that John will provide, and everyone will be able to replicate these for their own use. However, John will also demonstrate how to make necks without the use of jigs. He will also review making ukulele necks. Students will receive practice blanks during the weekend. Mahogany blanks will be available for an additional fee.
