Well, I'm working on necks today. I want to get the newest live edge guitar neck all rounded over and ready for fretting and finish. I also will be working on gluing up 1 or 2 new necks for some upcoming guitars. It should be a fun couple of days. I even still get a little nervous when rounding a neck. I always worry about going to deep and exposing the truss rod, or putting the neck attachment bolt into the back of the neck and having it come out the top, destroying the fretboard. These things have never happened, but I still worry about them.....crazy!!! Although, on one of my first necks I built I was convinced I had put the trussrod in upside down. So I had to rip off the fret board (I could have taken it off carfully but.....I was far to mad with myself) and sure enough I discovered it was on correctly. So a perfectly good neck, down the drain, but I was able to reuse the truss rod.....lol. Note to self, don't freak out, you most likely did it right. relax and take your time.
