Thin-Walled Sound Box Project #1, Photo 5 of 8

Posted by Rand Moore on September 2, 2013 at 9:32pm

Here's a photo of the neck and headstock I built for the instrument. It has a slotted headstock with a 1x3 set of open geared tuners. The fretboard is diatonically fretted using fret positions calculated for a 45 cm string length (VSL). The fretboard is made out of sapeli wood, while the neck is made out of "red beech" ("hong ju") wood. The red beech is pretty hard as compared to sapeli and cherry wood.
