    The black dyed pieces, do you soak them in dye so that it penetrates enough to not disappear during any cutting or sanding? Thanks!

    Hands-down, the best tutorial, how to shape an electric guitar neck! I watch this video the first time I started building 10 years ago and been using this technique ever since even on my acoustic guitars! Much appreciated. Thank you so much❤

    Goodnight! Could you tell me how many kilos your CNC motors weigh, please? All 3 of you, thank you very much in advance. And just adding that you are like a mentor to me, all I try to do is follow in your footsteps in luthiery. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    Don't you need a protective lacquer coat first before the filler??? I used dark brown timber mate on my first experience finishing Ash, nicely popping the grain. I forgot to shoot it with lacquer first, it stained the white grain all to hell, so I had to sand it for days to get it out. The second try I gave it a nice thick protective lacquer coat first and it worked great. If I do it again I'll certainly use Timber Mate again - and NOT forget the protective coat. Good stuff.

    I know this is an eleven year old video but I just have to say what an amazing artist Mr. Fletcher is. Watching him shape that neck makes it look so easy that I feel like I could do it myself. Oh, sure, I get it that when I actually try it, mine won't look anything at all like his or even like a guitar neck but I can always use file dust as fire starter powder and the neck wood in the wood stove this winter. So I might actually try it.

    Hola, estos vídeos me ayudaron muchísimo a construir un par de guitarras hace unos años, asique estoy muy agradecido por ellos. Lo que sugeriría que tal vez sería conveniente definir el espesor casi final que tendrá el Neck bajo los Trastes 1 y 12 (sin tocar la transición Neck/Head), tallar ese plano en cuña, y posteriormente trazar las líneas guía del modo que tú sugeriste en el vídeo 3. En su momento lo hice de la forma que te menciono luego de ver el retoque detallado en el minuto 13:00 de este video, y me resultó muy bien!!!. Espero estés muy bien y gracias por compartir!!

  • @FletcherHandcraftedGuitars

    Sí, establezca primero el grosor del cuello antes de transferir las líneas a la parte posterior del cuello.

    Hi I just completed my first binding with acetone, it was really easy, except I need to repair a few spots, When I put some pieces of binding in the acetone to melt, they just disintegrated into the acetone, they did not become soft and sticky, they just dissolved into the acetone. is there something else you added to the acetone, or warmed it up? great video, thanks
