<p>This custom Chicago Tenor Electric CBG for Tim G in San Miguel, CA has a new feature that I call a "Double Scarf Cut". I cut a regular 13 degree headstock from the standard 1 1/2 by 3/4 inch poplar wood stock on my table saw using a sled and the fence. Turn the headstock over and glue it to the bottom of the neck. After drying, clamp the neck back into the 13 degree sled and add 5/8 inch to the fence width and run it back through the saw again, taking off about 1/8 inch. This moves the…</p>
<p>This custom Chicago Tenor Electric CBG for Tim G in San Miguel, CA has a new feature that I call a "Double Scarf Cut". I cut a regular 13 degree headstock from the standard 1 1/2 by 3/4 inch poplar wood stock on my table saw using a sled and the fence. Turn the headstock over and glue it to the bottom of the neck. After drying, clamp the neck back into the 13 degree sled and add 5/8 inch to the fence width and run it back through the saw again, taking off about 1/8 inch. This moves the nut about 1 inch further up the neck and gives a more comfortable grip after I round off the neck on the router table. It looks good too.<a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/588007349?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="align-full" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/588007349?profile=original"/></a><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/588016588?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="align-full" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/588016588?profile=original"/></a></p> Here's my latest guitar.
