Making a neck

Post by Mo Law-ka »

Anyone ever made a neck from scratch? I'm thinking of taking this on as a project and I'd like to know what I'm going to be up against.

Sorry. Keep meaning to post pics. Finally had a decent day to spray last weekend, and had some MOLOTOW.

It's the cost of all the files & tools you need to make a neck that scare me off. I'd have to start selling dope to get into that.

Would you be up for that?
I remember you showing me, but I just wanted to get some set instructions for how to do it.
Could you do a project one with binding? That's the real reason I'm interested in it.
As for the cut-outs, I'm planning on adding Mo-style dick cutouts for everything I make from now on.
