My neck came today!

Post by jimd » Wed Mar 14, 2007 4:44 pm

Wow!  My USACG neck was on my doorstep when I got home from work.  It looks great.  I haven't scrutinized it too much yet.  But, I am a very happy camper.  The fretwork looks amazing.  It might be the best on any guitar I have.  I hope I can do it justice when I finish it.  It is for my Jazzmaster project.  The neck is their US-3 peghead, indian rosewood board with a 12" radius, medium jumbo frets and a c-contour.  USACG did a great job with my body and neck.

I can't post on here without asking a question.  What is the best way to shape the peghead to give it the fender shape?

When i shaped my us-1 i used a sanding block and 220 grit sandpaper then moving to 320 and 400.  slow and steady and checking all along the way.  remember you can remove wood but you can't put more back on.
