Description
Price is for a single neck blank. A hint of curl.One sold. The one that is left has the truss rod slot is a little over 1/16" of center up towards the head stock and there is some slight machining marks at the heel transition that are a little deeper than others due to tape lifting a little during machining.
- Eastern hard/sugar/rock maple.
- CNC machined. My neck blanks take a long time to machine to make minimal cleanup on your part. The main neck area has a very small step over that you will have to sand out, and I take multiple slow and light passes around the outside edge to make it as smooth as I can. Some pieces "fuzz" more than others during the machining process. There may also be some slight streaks along the length from jointer/planer blades that is part of the manufacturing process.
- The truss rod slot is designed for a 1/4" wide by 0.375" deep truss rod. Stew Mac and LMI both sell truss rods that work with this size of slot. You will need to drill access holes and remove any additional material that you may need depending on the exact truss rod you purchase. The slot is about 0.39 to 0.40" deep to err on the side of caution of not having the slot deep enough.
- Tuner holes designed for 10mm tuners. Due to the CNC interpolating the holes, hardness of varying pieces of wood, and sharpness of the end mill the holes will be somewhere from 9.5mm to 10mm. These two necks in particular are closer to the smaller end and will likely require some sanding or chased with a reamer for tuner fitment.
- You can see the profile of the neck at roughly the 1st and 12th fret. Thickness is around 0.58" at the first fret and 0.61" at the 12th fret. After adding a 1/4" thick fret board the thickness would be about 0.83" and 0.86" respectively. The heel is 3/4" thick.
