Making a fully bolt-on neck joint - Part 1

After many requests for guidance to execute this neck joint I decided it was worth putting together an in-depth video tutorial. The actual origin of this neck joint is unknown, there are numerous luthiers using variations of this joint today and they all have their own twist on it. This is my adaptation of the process which I have found to work beautifully as well as be beautifully functional. If you have any questions don't hesitate to put them in the comments - it is a lengthy process after all! I hope you get something out of this video. -Zach Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 0:53 - Preliminary steps 6:46 - Step 1: Body Flat Spot 7:32 - Step 2: Neck Angle 11:13 - Step 3: Routing the Mortise and Tenon 18:44 - Step 4: Bolt Holes 27:32 - Step 5: Shorten Bolts 32:46 - Step 6: Fingerboard Extension Pocket
