Hi guys,This was my first build using a pine 2x1 for the neck and a Punch cigar box. I decided to go for a through neck design with the neck glued on as that seemed to be the easiest and I didn't want to be over ambitious for my first build. The main problem I had was putting the tuners onto the head as the tuners I had were from a classical guitar but I didn't have means to cut the hole through the neck necessary for the tuners to slot into. So I just decided that as they were individual tuners I would use them as normal tuners. To make sure I had enough tension on the strings I went for a under slung set of tuners which worked surprisingly well. I was quite happy with the volume but the action of the guitar isn't great but gives me plenty of things to think about for my next project. I can see how people get addicted to these lovely instruments.This site has been a huge help in making my first guitar and I look forward making my next guitar ASAP.Keep building !WillLloyd
I didn't put the two together. I had seen your pictures and didn't realize that they were posted by the same person as this discussion. If you want to post pics in your discussion......
When you start to type, a tool bar should pop up. For me, it doesn't work on my iPad, I have to use a PC.
Hope this helps!
Glad you have your first under your belt. I'm surprised at the pine, as it's soft and a little bendy. I'd start with Poplar on the next one: soft enough to shape, hard enough to hold it's shape. Any pics?
