guitar neck

Post by don62 »

i am bidding on a job to rough cut necks for custom guitars and i need some help working through the design. i have an actual sample of what the customer is looking for - see attached picture. i know i can do a two rail sweep for the long arm, my questions are how do i design the verticle end (that attaches to the guitar) and the flat end where the strings will be attached? i am not looking for free help, but assistance is learning how to do the design. thanks don

Hi I believe I can help you.
See some works by me and look what you think. (you tube: nbsdesign01)
I can help you of course no cost if I can give tips and directions.
I have in my backups a small neck of acoustic guitar. I´ll search.
My web site are off, but in some days return.

Attached have some news of my job.

Alex, appreciate your response and willingness to help. and i am impressed with what i can see of your work. looked at you site, but as you said it is shut down. i see in your pictures a couple of necks that are very close to what i am looking for. nk_bk_gibson_style_glue for one and acoustic-3.jpg. are either of these file editable in aspire and could i purchase one of them. it seems this would be better that me trying to draw it from scratch. my email is dcg44@frontiernet.net. thanks don
