It's kind of a shame the fingerboard is going to cover it up. It's cool... No covering needed. It'll be rear routed for the 5 truss rods in my 30 string Djentopus(tm) model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dasein Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 How common is the route under the fretboard vs from the back for the truss rod? Any pluses or minuses there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Routing from the rear is only necessary on true one piece necks. As with anything relating to how the guitar is built, you will find camps that love one, hate the other, and many will have "science" to prove why they're right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northfield Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 After working on pointy guitars for so long, it's kind of fun working on something a bit curvy. woodworker geak alert: so, I decided to try out a new style of blade for my band saw, and man, it cuts these body blanks like they were butter - sometimes it's the small things that just kind of make your day. A little something different on this one 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
