Get a matching heel block
Many acoustic and archtop builders choose to build their necks by gluing a separate heel block onto a thinner neck blank rather than cutting a "one piece" neck. This adds strength and cuts down on waste. Billets have enough material to cut a one piece neck.
Our instructions "Neck Construction Tips and Techniques" include tips for adding headstock "ears," routing for a truss rod, laminating a classical guitar heel, and more.
Get the perfect neck shape
Our Neck Shaping Templates are meticulously reproduced from some of the greatest acoustic and electric guitars ever made. We also have shaping templates for basses, banjos, and mandolins too.
