Neck Dimensions

[@waden404]

If i could only say thank you a hundred times. You sure are helpin out this newbie!!!!

[@davidpolzin5830]

Thanks for the video! Dimensional lumber in the US is 1/2" smaller in both height and width than how they are sold. The neck stock that you are using (3/4" x 1 1/2") started as a 1" x 2" rough-cut piece of wood. Once dried, the mill will plane 1/4" off of each side, making the final product the new dimension.

When i build a diddley bow or a cigar box guitar i copy all the neck dimensions and bridge placement from a 6 string guitar i have including the fret spacing, they all sound great, it's just easier for me, thanks for the great video👍.

Looks like you had 11 and 12 mm between centre and outer strings there not 7.

[@thurgogopro5338]

Yep I agree there was no 7mm measurement there, although over here we don't use new fangled fancy metric systems so I make it 10 to the minus 6 of a mile LOL.

[@sivad2]

When would is sold as 2 inches, they are referring to the dimensions of the green cut wood. The wood shrinks when drying.

[@dwsnsgp]

sivad2 not completely. They are losing some due to the saw curff in the Wood. You have to pay for that too.

[@TheLookingOne]

Hey Paul, Should the spacing between the edge and center strings at the nut be the same as the spacing established by the tail?

[@paulmerojunkpileguitars]

Theoretically yes. Using the junk I do, maybe not. Thanks for watching)))

[@stevevaughn2040]

Some English woodworkers use inches saying that is better for fine work. I dunno, I can't cut a straight line

[@AlmostAnalogue]

Hi, you're videos are excellent. What wood did you recommend for the neck?

[@paulmerojunkpileguitars]

AlmostAnalogue oak, poplar or maple. Check the precut lengths at the hardware store Thanks for watching

[@bendunkelman4853]

@@paulmerojunkpileguitars is soft Maple ok?

[@hallobre]

In Europe we use the metric system, unless we talk about television screen size or rims. The reason they say it’s 3 inch but when you measure it’s 2 1/2 inch is because you measured it flat, they measured it across or diagonally. Hope this will clarify it to some Ignorant metricphobes out there

[@paulmerojunkpileguitars]

hallobre I sho hope so. Thanks for watching

[@da-madmodler4692]
