Building an Ovation Deacon Copy Part 19 - Starting to shape the neck, "I'm Back Baby!"

[@thevelointhevale1132]

I have owned my original Ovations for 35 years ... Breadwinner, Deacon and a Magnum II Bass ... they've have been my main guitars pretty much my entire life. I really appreciate your passion and dedication to this project - they are sensational Guitars.

Good to see a new guitar video. I liked the first background song with the organ. Looking forward to seeing your neck shaping process.

Good deal buddy,back in the saddle again ! Yee haw.No let's see that thing Rock. Welcome back Ken.👍😎🎸🔊

Good to see you back, Ken. Glad to see you’re going to complete the job. Behave yourself.

[@audiotechlabs4650]

Ken, it IS great to have you back in your shop with the Deacon! That trick with the band saw, I've done myself. The more teeth the blade has, the smoother the shape, you are a master at it! Made it look easy! It's not! Some would have used a trim router bit and a template, but you did it the hard way! Band saw and a sander! Great! This is gonna be a fantastic guitar! Hope the Camry turns out good. Again.......glad to have you back! Thanxz

[@sjp52047]

Hmmmm...I smell butter! This could hurt! It's nice to see you back on the Deacon. Regards, Solomon

[@georgelackey622]

Glad to see you back and on this one, Ken! Loved that trick with the bandsaw! Be Well!

[@jonahguitarguy]

Great to see you back making dust! Get a ball tip bit that is close then adjust from there.

[@stevenedwards4470]

You have serious sac to trim up that neck with the binding on and no fence. 😆 Impressive.

[@KossoffFan]

Glad to see you back at it brother.

[@RandySchartiger]

nice work Ken! yeah when y wife beings me coffee I can't almost bet a honey-do job must be coming lol

[@gerthalberg9735]

Always good to wait and see if anything moves or warps🤟

[@jimshelton1]

Glad you're back at it.

[@onpsxmember]

Yes! Best gift today. That headstock is really not easy. Would be easy on a 4 axis CNC or a copy carver, but who has it? Maybe some fixture to keep the neck at that angle and 3 flat segment cuts with the bandsaw, then switching to an iwasaki file. That'll eat up some time, but there isn't mch sanding to do with those files.

[@decomputerleraarable]

Glad your'r back! Rob

[@salmonline]

Silly fingerboard lifted. Hey, thanks for the tip on those $69 tool chests. Didn't know HD carried those.👍

[@bluesman285a]

Glad your back man!

[@jamessimpkins433]

About time, buddy!

[@matthewbarr5274]

Great to see you back at the guitar bench!! Think you'll have the Toyota done by first snow?

[@likeakite]

Nice !

[@suavetrainwreck7300]

Very cool. I had a 12 string model years ago and really liked it. I wonder if you could cut that fairly close on a belt sander using a 2" wheel or so.

[@raoulduke8382]

Maybe just use a sharp gouge chisel for the headstock?

[@WickedFesterBand]

The car stuff is cool but I want to see you build guitars!

[@BoudreauGuitars]

Wicked Fester and so you shall

[@funkypat5349]

I have an Ovation acoustic, If you need the profile of the headstock, let me know! measurement etc...looking at mine your best bet is a Dremel with a sanding bit.

[@BoudreauGuitars]

Funky Pat , I appreciate the offer but I have two ovation necks here in the shop already that I can draw measurements from. Thanks

[@funkypat5349]

@@BoudreauGuitarsGreat! Looking forward to the remainder of your build! Cheers, and best of luck!

[@gerthalberg9735]

Why use a router when you can a bandsaw😏
