  • thanks for the kind comment Sammy. Iv'e just been puting my website together if you fancy a look, its www.junksville.com not quite finished yet, but getting there
  • Outstanding skills mate. You are the man, nice one

     

  • Cheers Kevin....I will learn how to play it though!!
  • Yup, it does sound as good as it looks, knew it would! Very nice.
  • Thanks John.....I promise it sounds better before the Red Wine gets opened!!
  • Wonderful sound from that instrument. Very nice indeed.
  • I was just curious, as I am planning a 6-string build.  I don't plan on using any metal, either.  I like a nice thick neck, anyway, and I hope the bulk will make it strong enough to resist the string tension.
  • Hi Jon

    I must admit to never using a Truss rod. I sort of build the necks in bulk so I can just grab one when I want to do a new build. They're around 50" long so I can use them for cigar box through necks or cut them down for bolt on solid body.

    So far "touch wood" I havn't had one warp on me, they're all old seasoned Oak with Maple fretboards and seem very stable....I do think I'll try a truss rod at some time though!

  • Did you reinforce the neck, or add a truss rod?
  • Thanks for the kind comments folks, you've given me enough courage to post another video up!!

    I'll dig out the "Scrappercaster" vid !!
