when choosing a wood for the neck, it should be hard types of wood, since most guitars use maple neck and rosewood fingerboards and has a truss rod. the wood that i bought is primarily used in building tables or door jambs it is even used for framing houses here in my place, and since i have build that many guitars before i can trust the wood i purchase..it is 2"x3"x10ft.



f.y.i. --> it took me almost 5 attempts on building this type of guitar just to know what typical wood to use..



i cut it in half, the neck design is a neck through, all of my last guitar are design this way. i failed when i used a bolt-on design, so i never consider it anymore, and designing a bolt-on needs accurate wood work.



after cutting, find the right edges that would fit perfectly,



draw an outline of the guitar neck in its side, i suggest angled headstock.
