How We Make Our Challenger Necks

[@dastardlydave1455]

Cool to see the beginning process on your necks. I got a few...

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Yeah man, you know what's up

[@brad-guitar-miller813]

Nothing more soothing than watching bigger pieces of wood turn to art. 👍

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Couldn't agree more!

[@danandratis]

Great video, missed you guys Sunday

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Sorry Dan

[@TexasToastGuitars]

How I "FIX" it?

[@dalgguitars]

Every time I see it. She's just a beast! That shaper is so fantastic. It's all in the segmented blades. What fun!

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Lord knows I love it!

[@scottakam]

Thanks Matt. I was wondering why you didn't cut the headstock angle with the band saw first. And then you did!

[@TexasToastGuitars]

It's easier to let the pin router mark it first

[@petedazer3381]

Very cool, thanks Matt.

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Glad you liked it Pete

[@dappawap]

you make it look so easy

[@poppo1229]

[@FrugalFixerSpike]

I am going to need a bigger shop, for all these jigs, you keep showing me to build, LOL My Pin router chuck is coming next week, working on the guide pins and the locator for them, My Beloved being created!! New video up today, building the template for my Melody Maker Dug Out Acoustic

[@TexasToastGuitars]

[@tonyflies1]

love your guitars, that neck is awesome, what size is the nut.......on the guitar neck....

[@stevensobba1785]

Happy Monday! good follow through , understands how that comes about , since necks at the Telecaster class were ready for us. A great Thanksgiving to you Matt, Chris and KerryAnn

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Thanks so much Steve, you too brotherman

[@jakefromstatefarm9721]

Great work. Would love to see videos on fixing mistakes. Maybe how to deal with router mistakes, miss drilled holes, paint mistakes, ops I made my fretboard to thin. That kind of stuff.

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Jake, I don't think you would like that video too much... not the way I fix those problems

[@rocker6957]

Brilliant vid as always my friend.

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Thanks muchacho

[@dappawap]

Question: how would one angle the headstock with a regular hand router or router table? Your pin router seems to be a real game changer.

[@juliansuarez3849]

Pretty cool neck! Love the tshrit!!!

[@TexasToastGuitars]

It's a classic

[@michaelmenkes8085]

As usual you have great videos at the right time. I actually did my truss rods routs first while my sides were square. Looks like I need to make a 7% ramp… thanks again and again

[@TexasToastGuitars]

You will figure out the best way for you Michael

[@michaelmenkes8085]

@@TexasToastGuitars wish I had a pin router! Did your technique with a good sharp router bit in a drill press after making a 7 degree block and using it to guide my band saw and level my price under the router. It was slow and rough but with the help of a sander it was perfectly level. 3 angled headstocks in an afternoon. Thanks man

[@xparatrooper93]

Another excellent video. At what point do you make the end of the headstock perpendicular to the face of the headstock?

[@TexasToastGuitars]

We do not do that, see also the Gibson Les Paul

[@luthiferbuilds]

Awesome to see that dewalt nicad still in action! is it an Xrp? scary that is almost concidered a vintage tool now, anyway great video.... efficient AF

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Those are old drills for sure

[@donaldfaulk2968]

king of the band saw

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Why thank you Danald

[@legbah7]

Greatest shirt E-V-E-R!!👍🏼

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Thanks Grant

[@haramismusicalhardware]

Matt, love the content. What bits(brand) are you using for your pin router. Thanks

[@TexasToastGuitars]

We really like the Klingspor bits

[@haramismusicalhardware]

@@TexasToastGuitars Thanks for the info. Keep up the great work.

[@GosselinCreative]

Nice T-shirt cameo! Ha. Ha. Ha!

[@TexasToastGuitars]

Classic

[@BradHutchings]

This is how we do it....

[@TexasToastGuitars]

HAHAHA

[@justindwight5457]

Where can I find those paddles you use on the shaper?

[@TexasToastGuitars]

I'm sure Amazon has them

[@scottakam]

Why do the large manufacturers seem to prefer Sapele over African Mahogany for necks? The cost is similar. Is it because it's harder and potentially more stable?

[@TexasToastGuitars]

I don't really know?

[@joem6859]

'smooth, flat and wonderful'?? you're adorable and maybe pretty

[@bryangulledge]

What is the meaning of the saying on your shirt??

[@TexasToastGuitars]

What is the meaning of it? It's just something I say at classes when it's time to shape necks. One of the students made a shirt for me with the quote

[@johngeddes7894]

Dig.
