kominak -> Neck carving - countour templates? (Mar. 29 2011 8:47:34) I'm currently carving the back of the neck and I'm afraid if I'll get the contour right. Where coud I find some pictures that I could download/resize and make a countour template out of them? Or is there any other way to do it (I don't have any classical/flamenco guitar so making a template based on a guitar is not possible). I spent an hour in a local music store trying various neck profiles and I preferred C-shaped necks to flat-back ones. Btw. I'm following this video tutorial: Thanks for any suggestion.

Stephen Eden -> RE: Neck carving - countour templates? (Mar. 29 2011 13:28:36) Try drawing your square neck cross section then inside that draw your neck shape. You can then, using a series of bevels get your rough shape. Then blend the heel and the head into the neck. I will see If i can find a picture f what I mean I could only find this one of a 10-String I built but it gives you an Idea of what I mean. Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px
