Dan's Acoustic Guitar Build Part 3/5 With Jonny Kinkead

It's time for neck shaping, neck joint, truss rod, frets and bindings! Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below. Dan here, hello once more! Following Part 2, the guitar is now really starting to take shape as Jonny moves on to the neck. We also look at the bindings in this episode. Just two more parts to come now before my wonderful new guitar is completed. I’m stoked to be able to share this with you – please join me in thanking Jonny again for this incredible insight and his graceful patience with me knocking around his workshop. This is part three of five.

A: Because that’s his name! The guitars are ‘Kinkade’, Jonny is ‘Kinkead’. He chose ‘Kinkade’ for the guitars because nobody could spell ‘Kinkead’ correctly. 0:00 Roughing out the neck 1:35 Using rasps to shape the neck 2:40 Neck dimensions 5:00 Best all-round dimensions? 6:40 Neck shaping template 8:10 Letting the stresses out of the timber 11:05 Body with bindings 12:15 What is the binding made of? 17:00 How the bindings are put on 17:35 Scraping back the bindings 18:40 The magic scraper 22:50 Sharp edges on the binding 23:20 Flame koa binding 24:40 Fitting the neck to the body 25:10 Tapered dovetail joint 27:10 Getting the pitch right 28:50 Shaping the heel joint 30:40 Mechanics of the neck joint 34:00 Point of contact 37:28 How the truss rod works 41:25 How deep into the neck is the truss rod set? 44:47 Neck is connected, and truss rod is in 46:35 Planing back the truss rod fillet 48:40 Ready for the fingerboard 49:50 Cutting the fret slots 55:53 The fret wire 56:54 Fingerboard, meet your guitar! 58:50 The angle of the nut 1:00:15 The camber of the fingerboard You can buy TPS merch to support our efforts https://www.thatpedalshowstore.com We are on Patreon – crowdfunding for creatives   / thatpedalshow   Please visit our preferred retailers!
