- I built a router sled for cutting spline pockets in broken guitar necks. Plans are available below, please subscribe and comment. Thank you!
The files with a preceding "P" are pattern files, you can print them full scale and stick them to your material for easy "no measure" building. The rest of the files are the actual drawings. Enjoy!

So simple on a black painted neck .The Bosch plunge router attachment makes setting depth of cut easier on my jig .
I have a 1981 Washburn Bass with a broken off headstock I was given 25 years ago. This is exactly what I need to attempt my first headstock repair. I really appreciate you putting these plans online. Thank You!
Nothing better than good old American craftsmanship. It's a very clever jig. I'd like to see your process to the finished product. Many thanks TMG.
Thanks to your kindness Sir Thomas. We really appreciate your help by giving us the file. 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent jig! This is exactly what I need. Thanks for sharing the plans!
Glad it was helpful!
I could use a copy of the pdf plans for your routing jig. I really appreciate you sharing your work with me.

Thank you!!
Thank You for the plans
That's genius.
If you were concerned with having perfectly symmetrical spine locations, you could mark the router sled at the point of the middle of the bit, and mark stops on the jig accordingly.
John, that is a quality designed and made jig.
Brilliant !
Awesome thanks!
I also would like the plans! That’s slick!!

Love your workshop
Thanks for plan , I have one question, As the side plates of zig are inclined ( as if guitar head stock ) , but the splines seems as straight, how it's possible. If router is following the curved surface, so splines also have round inside, please guide. So I can also build this
Would love to see the plans. Looks much more adjustable that what I came up with.

@@ThomasMuseGuitars Does your process make grooves with curved bottoms?
Yes.
Hi the files are no longer in the drive
Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge Thomas
Should be available now, Dan.
Thanks for that Thomas
Much appreciated
Great stuff Thomas and thank you on behalf of everyone for making the plans available. One question. Does the bottom of the routed channel exactly match the curve of the jig? In other words, can the curved part of the jig be used to scribe the bottom curve of the spline (or do you use a different method)?
Yes, very close. The radius is slightly larger due to the stick-out of the router bit. I made a template to cut the splines; you can dial it in easily as the bottom of the channel is visible when you make the pattern from narrow stock.
@@ThomasMuseGuitars Thanks!
Most enjoyable video John, thanks so much - I really enjoyed the intro and outro. That's an excellent jig, well conceived and made but I do have a question - do you feel that splines are always necessary for the repair of broken headstocks? Thanks again and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thanks Mark! No, splines are only necessary if you don't have enough solid wood fiber to glue. I like at least 2" of clean grain before I put the router away.
I just have a template that I put over the neck, and I can use that with any 'whole' guitar.
That is nice would love plans!

Wow! Very complete and giving it free!?!
I just throw the way up guitar because of that exact Problem yes, I'm yes I would like to have set of those plans.
Link is in the comments, Jack.
Thanks sir for sharing your work, just have a question , as this zig has curve , so wood filler for splines must have countur of spline, how to achieve this?
I mill maple or mahogany to the same width as the diameter of the bit and make a template from the side of the jig with the curve. You can test the template by laying it in the freshly cut groove. Carefully radius the ends and prepare for glue.
Would love the plans. What do you need from me? Thanks!
There should be a link in the description. Let me know if it doesn't work.
Yes this is Barry again I was watching your video again and you said you could send the plan solid form would that be like through the mail if so I have a post office box 2316 in Chesterton Indiana 46304 if I need to pay the shipping I'll pay the shipping or whatever it costs but I would really appreciate some plans you've got great details on your plans you're talking about I would love to have a copy of them plans please thank you so much
Berry, there is a link to the drawings in the description.
I have a couple of hand made guitars that have truss rods whose nuts have been sheared off. ( don’t ask). I have been thinking of building this kind of jig, only longer, to route out a channel for a couple of carbon rods (to secure w apoxy) to straighten out the necks…would like to see your plans. PM me?

What router bit is that?
That's a 1/2" x 1/2" (13mm x 13mm) bit with a bearing at the shaft end. You don't need a bearing, it's just what I had on hand.
Can I get a copy of plans please.
