  • I have a lot to learn too. I've only built three of these but I used to build primitive style furniture and other such things. I did ok with that so I try to apply some of that to the guitars. Sounds like we need to keep up with each other and share what we learn on future builds as rookies...lol.
  • Less of an angle would look a little better. You need to sand back until you don't see the joint. 

  • Nothing wrong with that joint. A little elbow grease should clean it right up. Looks good.

  • Haha I have so much to learn.
  • Hey tnfishdaddy! I plan to try this on my next build. I see what you did wrong though. The head should sit on top of the neck instead of under. Then if you add a separate finger board, the head would sandwich between the the neck and finger board making a pretty strong joint.....plus it hides the wider connections in the joint.
  • By hand scarf joint did not come out very good. Need to figure out how to do this better.
