Hey welcome to the club! ;-) I think we've all got a 'where was my head at' moment sooner or later. Great suggestions though to recycle and reuse what you've built. The power of CBG Nation!
Thanks guys. I think maybe I should just make this into a tiny hockey stick.
nice harp neck ;-)
You can't separate the heel block from the neck? Even if you had to plane off 1/16" you can glue on a fretboard over top. I would try to saw it off close then plane.
I will cut off the heel block right below the glue joint, it will just be a bit shorter for another project, and use the rest of the neck for small bits as I need them. But I may keep this one as a reminder to myself :) Or make a guitar with a super, super, super high and totally unusable action and string angle. Or keep it around to fight off intruders. Maple is very hard, after all.
I think you could cut off the heel block cutting with its glue joint on the neck, not cutting the neck shorter. I would give it a try. You'll lose nothing more than wood and time.
If you replane both the neck surface and the heel block you could salvage both and glue the block on the correct side.
Thats what I would do, especially after all the time spent and hassle of fitting up and gluing the scarf.
I'd rather lose the heel block, or have a slightly smaller one, than redo the entire neck from scratch. Easier to remake a heel block, if necessary, than redo a scarf (time and effort )
