    Description

    1 piece carved acoustic neck blank. Sized for 14 fret, 25.4 inch scale(about 14.3 from neck angle start to tenon beginning. Paddle type head is about 6.6 long with width tapering from 2.6 to 3 wide. About 1.71 wide at nut, 2.22 at body. 15 degree neck angle, Truss rod slot is 1/4 wide,round bottomed, about 0.350 deep. Rough sanded to about 100 grit. Neck heel is 3.75 tall, terminating in a point. Not a finished component, but rather an excellent start for an acoustic neck. Tenon is roughed in at 1.5 degreee of body angle, and about 1 inch long, with an 1/8 rounded transition from neck to tenon. This particular piece of wood is old stock(aged 10+ years), and rift sawn. This is old lightweight wood, and weighs about 9 ounces on my scale.
    About my necks:
    I leave the truss rod slot rounded and a tad shallower than most 2-way rods. I think the rounded bottom is a bit stronger, but you will need to scrape to exact depth of your rod(I use a 1/4 chisel ground to a cove shape), and you will need to carve flats at the then ends to match the end shape of your rod(generally square).
    The tenon is tapered from about 1.6 to 0.8 tall and 1 long, so you can cut a either a dovetail or straight tenon and use inserts. 2 holes I use for holding this neck for carving can be seen in the end of the tenon. A dedicated body-neck angle jig is recommended.
    The neck profile is slightly vee shaped, similar to some old martin's but not an exact copy on any particular model.
    I have more curve in the heel profile than many necks. I just like it this way.
    There is a bit of shaping required in the head to heel transition, see last photo. It can be shaped to fit ones thumb better here.
    Not a finished neck, but an excellent time saver.
