Way ahead of you...started tearing down my SG today.  Sorry if my questions were too intrusive. It was unintended to be. Just looking for some help.  I am sure i can find what i need from my own builds. was hoping i didn't have to break them down to do so...but what the hell i can do that. ...

Truthfully, I have not decided on a style of guitar yet.  I will however be buying a Warmoth Neck so I want to make sure i cut the pocket correct.  I am accually going to be making two guitars one is foing to be a Tele style which i know have a pocket style all its own. I am thinking the other...

Thanks for that confirmation Tony.  And if you find out the corner radius that would be great.  I could begin programming to cut my new project. Thanks again Nauset

i understand that warmoth neck pockets are 3" long by 2 3/16" wide by 5/8" deep. My question is what is the radius at the neck pocket side near P/U?.  I am guessing it is in the neighborhood of 5" is that about right?  for a strat pocket of course.  And the corner radius is around 3/8" am i...

I know you need to fill the grain on most softer woods. But I am in the process of making a tiger maple top guitar and am wondering if you would grain fill maple?  It is Tiger so it is soft but it does not look pourous at all.  On the other side, would it damage the wood to grain fill it even if...

So many choices....but my all time favorite is "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. followed closly by Eric Clapton doing the Beatles "While my guitar gently weaps" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mioGewkWVdo# http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1guu5ra_y0&feature=related#

Thanks dangerous...guess i can hold of on that cat scan for now anyway.  I just never realized the amount of slope in the beck pocket of the guitars that i have made.  Thanks again to all whom replyed and i will keep you posted on my two newest builds.  Got some sweet tiger to work with on these...

Thanks to all for all the replys.  So could someone double check my math here for me.  Warmoth says they angle the neck pocket 1.5 to 2 degrees.  So using their 5/8" (.625") starting point depth at the pickup side of pocket.  My math tells me that at the neck side of the pocket needs to be...

please clarify your statement that it moves back !  does that mean that the neck pocket is for aguments sake .650" deep at the body side, .625 (5/8") in the middle of the pocket, and .600 deep at the neck side of the pocket?  I am just using round numbers for discussion. With out triging out...

According to warmoth, when cutting the neck pocket utilizing a Tune-o-matic and stop tail piece, it is described that a 1 1/2 to 3 Degree neck pocket angle is required for correct intonation.  My question is this.  The angle goes in what direction?  does it slope deeper toward the neck side or...

Is there a major difference between titebond and titebond II?  And dude!  I am a machinist with a VMC available to me, so I think i can program and cut a good body.  No doubt not as good as warmoth..but probibly not all that much worse either.  no disrespect dude! Thanks for the glue info guys

I have the the most stunning lenght of tiger maple. 3/4" thick by 20" wide by 55" long.  I figure I can make at least 4 and possibly moe guitars depending on how i slice the thickness.  I know a good arch top will take the whole 3/4", but lets say an SG style or an LP or Tele can be done with a...

Thanks Gregg you have been a great help..

it looks like the hole goes to the stop tail piece...is that correct?
