This workshop covers making and carving a bolt-on neck blank. If you have a neck you want to replace or need a neck for a project, let’s make one! The goal of the workshop is to give you a basic understanding of how I make a neck in my shop. I want you to be able to repeat the process and make many necks on your own.

We will:

• Design a neck and headstock

• Make a neck carving station

• Learn about different tools I use in this process

• Cut out a neck blank

• Route a truss rod pocket

• Cut out a fingerboard

• Slot a fingerboard

• Go over basic inlay process

• Glue up a neck blank

• Carve the neck

• Sand the radius into the fingerboard

• Sand the neck

The cost of this workshop is $350. It covers the materials for an all maple neck, glue, sand paper, and truss rod. This workshop does not cover fret work or nut work. This workshop happens over two 4-6 hour days to allow glue to dry. Other materials can be substituted for additional costs. This workshop can be combined with the fret work, nut, and setup workshops for a discounted price. If there is a body, this neck will be used on it and it will be necessary to bring the body to ensure a great fit.
