    That would have been nice to have a month ago as I was burning up boards on a disc sander. Do you have any brick and mortar( I'm in Denver area) or just online?

    We have a factory outside Denver…but not a retail store. Some people stop by to pick up orders…it to drop off guitars for Plek service. But this needs to be done by appointment. Call the number on our website if you need help. Thanks for watching.

    When I put steel grommets into guitar necks, I just put the insert bit into my drill press and (obviously with the power off) use the perfectly vertical pressure from the press and I turn the chuck with my bare hand. The other fantastic feature of the steel grommets are if you use four recessed neck ferrules instead of a plate, it's much easier to find metric bolts of various lengths, or even cut a longer bolt down. It's much more difficult to find the short wood screws necessary for a tapered neck heel to keep the bolts from poking all the way through.

    The adjustable pocket template can be accomplished with three pieces of mdf taped to the blank around the heel of your neck lined up to the center line to the line drawn for the scale length. The route (tweaked with tape) will match that particular neck. I use a cheap laser to line the neck up with the blank's center line.

    great job! i need to do this to my strat with striped wood screws.... anyway you could ditch the nut driver and chuck your home made driver into the drill press, spin the chuck by hand while putting small amount of pressure on handle for leverage.... a little wax and they go in dead straight every time...

    I very, very much appreciate these videos for their expertise, however, anybody contemplating their very first guitar build would likely never set foot on that path having watched this series. Sometimes, you just have to have at it, and be damned with all the jigs. You just have to give it a go and learn from your mistakes.

    At 22:00 Steve could use the special tool he says he doesn't like by setting it into the chuck of his drill press - the perfect perpendicularity of the alignment is still assured from drilling the original holes! - and then start turning the chuck by hand while gently pressing down on the plunge handle of the press. Most drill presses are designed to allow such hand-turning of the chuck...

    Question regarding planing the neck blank down to the desired thickness - I don't have a planer, but I do have a jointer. Would that also work to get it down to the thickness I want?

  • @maximumguitarworks
    @maximumguitarworksАй бұрын

    Not ideal…but possible. You will have to pay attention to all four corners of the blank…and take light passes on the jointer. I have found that you can put more pressure with the push blocks over the thicker ends/sides…and slowly make adjustments to make the sides flat and parallel. It’s not easy…but possible.

    Goodnight! I was wondering what this mold is for? I watched the whole video thinking I would have an answer, but I stayed the same. If it's not due to my lack of education, I can ask you and see how the mold is used more trade after it's ready. Thank you very much in advance for your attention and congratulations on the very good KZread channel.

    Man, I‘m so glad I came across this video. I didn‘t know you had a KZread channel until today. I‘ve heard a lot about you through Todd‘s videos over at Sweet T Guitars. I have seen him do this and am planning on doing the same in my first electric build. Thanks for the detail! I appreciate it. I am now subscribed as well!

    You don't really need perpendicular holes. You need co-linear holes. So drill a smaller pilot hole thru both the body and neck. Then drill at the needed diameters

    Great to see decent engineering principles being applied to an age old problem. I think Leo himself would've approved. Would be interesting to see if unplugged resonance could even result for the couch surfers amongst us.

    An equal length and geometry of the cross section is important when comparing the stifness. The titanium has a different dimensions, according to it´s cross section, than the maple and carbon rods.

    Perfect amount of time. If a person can't deal with important info to teach something that is very useful they shouldn't be watching in the 1st place. Let them learn the hardway and wishing they had watched this the 1st time and did it correctly. If they had want to watch short uninformative videos they deserve to get problems and they will with anything that requires attention span. They probably shouldn't even be playing guitar, it takes attention and time to learn.

  • @Studio-ffft5

    Great comparison and very informative. Technically, you are measuring load at a specific beam deflection. Since the cross-sections of the beams you are testing differ from sample to sample, it’s not quite a pure analysis of the strength of each material as much as it is a comparison of the beams with the predominant factor being the difference in strength of each material plus the geometric effects. One nit is that you are measuring load, which is in pounds and this is not a pressure but rather a force. Hope this helps and thanks for your analysis.
