@Bobo9977 Thank goodness for guys like you Bill. You are a very generous man.

@TasteForDisaster The skunk-strip is glued in after the truss-rod is in, the skunk-strip is clamped to keep the truss-rod tight to the routed channel, but not too tight mind you. Bill

what type of saw did u use to cut the skunk strip so clean? i am worried about the curved tops and bottoms getting mangled by a jigsaw and not looking as smooth and round as yours. great video btw thanks

Good morning. I would have cut the blank then used an edge sander to clean it up or use a router to surface it to width. Then draw my arc and use bandsaw then sand to line. Thrn do the ends and fit it.

Hi....would you mind sending me instructions on how to build one of these vintage style 1 piece necks? Its the truss rod route and anchoring im having trouble with. Thanks

I don't have my drawings for this process. I believe I took a 1 to 1 print of the telecaster neck and made my jigs from that

Can you tell me please Which kind of wood should I buy for this wood steck to fill the long hole ?

Hi Bill. Thanks so much for your videos. You have become my only true source for guitar building. I'm just about to route the truss rod channel, I watched your vid on how to make my own truss rod. So I have a 3/16 round bar, but this video, you used a 1/4 router bit. Does that mean that you are using a 1/4 truss rod? I can't seem to find a 3/16 round nose bit??? Thanks in advance for your help.

@mrbano25 If it has the plug in the headstock you will need to remove it and remove it out from the headstock end. Bill

Hi, where do you get the walnut for the skunk stripe? Thanks!

I made them from walnut pieces.

I relied on a pdf drawing which I printed out 1:1 scale and made my side rails from that.

I used a drum sander but any sanding block will do. Its quite easy.

i have an old fender jazz bass that has the same truss rod and i want to replace the truss rod with a new one. how can i pull out the old one? i hope you or someone could help me..thnks..

did you put the truss rod in before the skunkstrip? or is the rod inside of the skunkstrip?

i have an old fender jazz bass that has the same truss rod with this gibson and i want to replace the truss rod with a new one. how can i pull out the old one? i hope you or someone could help me..thnks..

@RuecianG I guess after you've been around woodworking and guitars long enough it starts to become second nature. Bill

can't understand why this is too thick here at 1:04 is this the same bit for the hole down in the neck or what ?

Yes the channel is 1/4" and the rod is 3/16" leaving you a bit of room for play.

At the beginning of the video, i thought you were the google narrator
