Thanks for all the extra effort to make a video everyday for October !! I love these videos !! Takes me back to the early days of your channel !! Great job , Matt !!
Hey Matt ! ...thats coming along swimmingly !!! only problem is ...now I really want to make a neckthru Prostitute....the power of suggestion is working overtime in my brain... Cheers brother !
Matt, I must say, you thought out this project extremely well. Great idea on the wiring channels and the pins for alignment and structural integrity, smart man. Both you and Chris always surprise me with your ability to over come and adapt to any challenge is remarkable. Thank you for great videos. Learning is always fun.
Thanks so much Pete I have made several neck through guitars and can't really remember what I have and haven't made videos about. This seemed like a fun project.
Neck-Brake-Angle is alway a mysterium. Maybe you can tell us something about it? Which height has the fretboard above the top, and how did you calculate/guestimate it?
@@vanshankguitars i don't do a drawing. I measure the average bridge height, eg. 10mm, and then try to achieve 10mm including the fretheight of the last fret, above the top. Works quite well, but LP type guitars, need an angle, strat types don't.
@@rosettenzerrer it's exactly the same principle, a line laying on the frets should touch the top of the bridge at its minimum height. On a Fender style build, this just means rising or lowering the neck pocket to match the height. If you choose to use a back angle you need to draw some triangles to find out the exact value, and that is best done at full scale. The exact angle will depend on the bridge choice, the scale of the instrument, the fret where neck joins the body, and how proud you want the fretboard to be over the instrument top (on a les paul it's flush, but that's not a must for all guitars) so there is no general rule
Hey Matt! This is going to be a super rad guitar! Loving the October video series. Always excited to see a TTG video in my daily feed to enjoy!! Keep up the good work, kind sir. 👍🏼
I think I talked about it in a previous video. I bought a cheapo dowel jig from Amazon that is pretty decent. If I was making a lot of neck through guitars I would probably upgrade
i'm making my first guitar build from watching your tips. the 2x4 was a lot of help. i'm making a neck through bass with a custom scale 31.5" rounded to 800mm metric. and i did the same side cavity for the wiring for the same reason. so those pins are really going to be a great idea for me to add. neck throughs are a tough first build... but hey. well worth it to learn how to really think a problem through. i'd love to see a video so i can see what i maybe could have done better
Thanks so much my friend, I have been getting enjoying this little guitar quite a bit. BTW did your amp get shipped? Did the guys at the theater commandeer it yet?
That channel idea using a cove bit is genius! Question, are you still able to use the Maximum Guitar Works SG templates to do the body bevels on a neck thru?
Hey Matt! Loving the channel. I'm liked, subscribed, sharing, and now commenting! Question for you... What to do after the glue is dry? Do you palm sand, or hand plane the joints, etc? I'm afraid of having uneven joints unless I drum sand, but can't once the fretboard in assembled. Cheers!
On my first neck through I remembered to rout for the pickup wiring but I didn't do the fret work and forgot the side dots so that was interesting lol. The fact I routed the floyd a 1/2 inch in the wrong place after reading the instructions multiple times is irrelevant 🤣
DAMN IT, MATT!! Don't wipe glue on your table. Someday someone is going to be reaching under it and feel all those glue globs and think that you're wiping boogers on it! 😝 Use a damp rag to wipe off glue from your fingers. Just a useful tip from me. 😉
If I don't wipe it on the table how will Chirs get it all over his pants? C'mon... use your head! Also don't say "DAMN IT" to me this is my shop, and I am the one who gets to say DAMNIT. I pay a lot of money every month for that privilege.
I think it is worth mentioning to your viewers that Subscribing costs nothing, will not ask for their details etc Just because some percentage of anyone's viewers would not know that and subscription anywhere other than RUclips is monthly payments Another useful thing of having subscribed to a RUclips channel is you can find the channel again looking up your what you have subscribed to Anyway good luck with your channel Curious what angle the neck is at? Thanks for the cable tunnel tips (Edit: Cheers from Scotland)
Based on the type of bridge, how are you dealing with neck angle? My basses are pretty easy to deal with, but guitars are more difficult with their TuneOMatic bridges. Easier with a Fender style guitar.
I know it's alot of work but really enjoying my daily Uncle Matt, neck-thru series is great - Cheers from Canada
Thanks Dan, it is a lot of work but it isn't all bad sometimes it's fun too
Pre-routing the wiring channel was a pro move!!
I try to make as many pro-moves as I can amigo

I like to encourage the positive power of suggestion, especially if it means more guitars

That routing the channels would have saved me much frustration.... Thanks brother!

That should be a future video
It's part of your full size drawings before you even start cutting wood.

@@rosettenzerrer yes, you can do guesswork, or work it out precisely on a full scale drawing. To each his own.

Thanks so much for watching my friend
Thanks for the video! How do you align dowels?
I think I talked about it in a previous video. I bought a cheapo dowel jig from Amazon that is pretty decent. If I was making a lot of neck through guitars I would probably upgrade
@TexasToastGuitars Thank you. I will have to click on the previous video.
This is going to look amazing!
Good call on the limba Doug
That's going to look killer, Matt!
I think so too my friend
Very informative, especially routing the channels to run wiring!
Oh yeah man, you got to remember to do that stuff
i'm making my first guitar build from watching your tips. the 2x4 was a lot of help. i'm making a neck through bass with a custom scale 31.5" rounded to 800mm metric. and i did the same side cavity for the wiring for the same reason. so those pins are really going to be a great idea for me to add. neck throughs are a tough first build... but hey. well worth it to learn how to really think a problem through. i'd love to see a video so i can see what i maybe could have done better
Outstanding!
Thanks so much my friend, I have been getting enjoying this little guitar quite a bit. BTW did your amp get shipped?
Did the guys at the theater commandeer it yet?
Excellent
Thank you my friend
It's going to look great
I know baby, you dig it the most!
That channel idea using a cove bit is genius! Question, are you still able to use the Maximum Guitar Works SG templates to do the body bevels on a neck thru?
I sure did Tom
I would love to come to a neck-thru workshop and build a left handed Warlock 😎
We might see if we can work that out
😘 Matt - another instructive video for me to advance my guitar building. Greetings from Germany, 🥰 Melanie
Awesome! Thank you my friend

Thanks for the kind words my friend. I usually just palm sand with 60 grit on the top and I always run the back through the thickness sander.
matt. you could have installed pins centered between the 2 pickup routes. your thoughts.
It would work fine on the top wing but the bottom wing has a route in the center for wire
On my first neck through I remembered to rout for the pickup wiring but I didn't do the fret work and forgot the side dots so that was interesting lol.
The fact I routed the floyd a 1/2 inch in the wrong place after reading the instructions multiple times is irrelevant 🤣
Oh man I feel your pain my friend

Curious what angle the neck is at?
Thanks for the cable tunnel tips
(Edit: Cheers from Scotland)
Hey
Hey Matt, is that the neck that you started way back when you had a neck-thru series for the patrons and channel members?
It is very possible this is a REALLY old neck blank. There were quite a few of those neck blanks and I'm not sure what got used for what.
Morning
Hi Rob
@@TexasToastGuitars good morning sir
When selecting the wing wood for the neck thru. You said you didn't want to use African mahogany. Is there something about it that you don't like ?
Yep, I have used lots of it and I just don't like it anymore
Based on the type of bridge, how are you dealing with neck angle? My basses are pretty easy to deal with, but guitars are more difficult with their TuneOMatic bridges. Easier with a Fender style guitar.
