Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into sharing this Eb, it's people like you that make the world a better place! 👍👍👍

Hey Eb thanks for sharing you'r drawing, I 'm getting more broken headstock repairs and this jig will sure come in handy.

[@webebbe]

Hey Ed, you're welcome. Good luck. Hope I don't steer you wrong. EB

Exactly what I was looking for. I bought on auction new Epiphone Les Paul Standard Sunburst with broken headstock for $35, this video will definitely help me fix it.

Thanks Eb for sharing the design. This clears up the errors that I had put into place.

The jig is simple to make ;but the clamping and depth of cut is the challenge .

I'm checking All you repair Guys out and Thanks!I've got the determination and y'alls Knowledge is the Power that moves these gtr headstock broke issues forward with confidence!Thanks,Take care nah! Eb,Jcsx

Drawing is at the end of the video

I have no idea what this jig is used for. Can someone please help me to understand as I am left totally in the dark. The description says it is a guitar neck slotting jig. What does that mean. Is it used to repair a broken headstock by cutting slots to insert and glue biscuits into?

[@webebbe]

This video was in reply to a repair that I made on a broken headstock. He wanted info on a jig that I made to make the repair. Here is the link for that video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3ebc4JtqdqBoZo

Thanks for sharing this great jig. Anyone happen to have a cnc file they would like to share for this jig. ? Thanks

The drawing is very simple, but not complete. I´m missing the wide between the side plywoods and thickness of them as the thickness from bottom piece. Same is for for the sliding part, I´m technician and I prefer to work exacatly as the drawing :) It is a bit tricky coz I have to calculate from Imperial measurments to the metric system and fits all together to have same result as in original. I will be thankfull if I can get all measurments, and I will finish the drawing with all details in Imperial and Metric measurment system.

[@webebbe]

Sorry, the drawing is all the information that I can supply. Be creative using my basic design, that's what I did when I borrowed the idea from the professional model.

Hey there, I made a jig much like yours here! I haven’t made any cuts yet, but it seems like my router, when it’s cutting as deep as it can, won’t cut deep enough. Not sure if I will need to add to the base, or find a longer cutting bit

[@webebbe]

Raise the guitar with something very solid under the neck. Make sure everything is secure so nothing can move. Practice on a block of wood the same thickness.

[@jonathanstewart8900]

Eb Jensen I think a 1/2” piece of mdf will do it

[@mikekolb2000]

Nice simple jig! Question: on the drawing (at the bottom) it shows a length to be 16", as indicated by the vertical marks... the left vertical mark is at the end of the jig, but the one on the right seems to be extended out and not at the end of the jog. Was that intentional? If so, then the length is more like 14-12" or so? Or maybe it was just a "whoops" and the length really is !6"? Thanks.

[@webebbe]

Mike I'm not sure what the issue is that you are describing. If it's the difference in the height from the right side to the left side it has to do with the neck being thicker than the headstock where the tuners are mounted so the router doesn't cut too deep. I did a scale drawing of my guitar neck and headstock profile and built the jig based on that drawing. The drawing measurements are correct. I hope that answers your question. EB

[@mikekolb2000]

@@webebbe I apologize for being unclear, and not being able to post a diagram sure doesn't help my cause :) But let me try another way.... no, it's not the height difference between the two ends but, rather, how the length of the entire unit is indicated. On the left and right-hand sides are "measure-to" lines. The two lines on the left make sense because they indicate (accurately) where the measurements are made. On the right, the one horizontal line seems accurate, but the lateral line appears extended beyond what the base is. It's placement shows that the 16" horizontal measurement would be in question. Gulp...I'm digging a deeper a deeper hole, aren't I?! Is there any way to send you the drawing back with a note or two I've made?... it should help to clear up what my question is. Thanks! /// Mike

Yes, you should give all the measurements inches and everything on exactly how to cut the jig to form the jig. Do you know what I mean? You need to give the dimensions of all the heights and angles of the degree of the roundness at the top so you make a complete good jig cut That’s just something that you don’t do in your videos you need to explain it on the backside, the height part could be 5 inches and then the lower part could be three and three-quarter inches so that’s one thing you could add to your little video that would explain a little more because you’re explaining the jig and what you did but you’re not explaining any measurements how long it should be what the angle on the top should be I’m just a viewer and then just I’m just adding how did you get all these dimensions and watch the angle card and how high is the bag compared to the front that’s I’m trying to figure that out. Thank you.

[@webebbe]

This video is just to show you how I did this repair. There should be enough information in the video for someone capable of doing a neck repair to make there own jig. That jig is long gone. That was my first and last repair and I was flying by the seat of my pants. Do your own scale drawing of a side profile of your guitar and create your own arc going through the neck of the guitar using a stick with holes in it on both ends as a compass. Good Luck

[@barrymesser1732]

Yes, she made you dimensions you talk about it but you don’t give no measurements or the degree of angle the cut is supposed to be on to do the splines cut the spines so you need to put the measurements of the height of one side and the measurements and the height of the other side, and the angle degree of the top for the router to go back-and-forth That’s my comment.
