Here are some previous pix of the neck build from a year ago. This neck became complicated very quickly. The plans for the SG use a certain neck scale length, while the fretboards that StewMac sells, is cut for the LP scale. I had to work from two plans two make one neck.





Tools of the trade for a lot of this project.


Finding the center line on the neck. Using the easy method.


Center found and marked as well as the tenon. A few more lines and it's time to go to the bandsaw to cut the rough shape.


Now that's a straightedge!


Drawing Lines..


More lines! This SG blank should see a saw blade tomorrow.


So close! I just need the blade to come an 1/8" or so. This is going to be fun.
