Shaping a Walnut Telecaster Guitar Neck!

[@AugmentGuitars]

I hope you all are enjoying this video! In the future, I want to make a from start to finish guide on how I shape guitar necks to show the full process. Coming soon!

It's always extraordinary to see objects emerge from sculpting. There was a guitar neck in there, and you found it! Mesmerizing to watch. Beautiful to see at the end. Well done.

Thank you! :)

[@larrysquires5321]

Awesome. And, an especially perfect selection of wood, e.g. perfect grain.

[@AugmentGuitars]

Thanks Larry! 😊

Have you tried shaping with a router before and cleaning it up with a rasp afterwards? It's amazing how you take it from flat to round right at the end.

[@AugmentGuitars]

I haven't actually! I've seen some specialized bits that can cut the general shape out for you but they sort of scare me. lol! I want to build a neck jig here soon to cut out the round shape and then finish it with files and light sanding. Just like Temple Guitar's video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJLGZ2WZar2ZqLM This rasp faceting technique is fool-proof though. Makes it easy!

Well done! I’m in the middle of making a Mahogany with a Walnut fret board neck. Outstanding work!

[@AugmentGuitars]

Thanks Steven! Ohhh I would love to see the end result! Walnut is fun to work with. :)

Great skills Sir ! Would you use the same Shinto style tool for a Strat belly cut ?

[@AugmentGuitars]

Thanks Lou! Yep, I use it for all large contours as well! 😀

Walnut's a good tone wood - I'm not sure why it's not used more often...

[@AugmentGuitars]

I like it as well! This neck feels great too (I just oiled it.). I will say that it was a bit chippy in some spots when carving but overall not bad to work with for a neck. I've used it for bodies as well and it works great! I've seen more kit guitars use walnut bodies and fretboards over the last few years. I think it's gaining a bit of popularity. :)

We need to link our you tube account links. Based on your work you should have more videos and subscribers.
