This is the building of the neck of my guitar #10, 'Benu'.
A beautiful and light aged Red Western Cedar that will pair with the back and sides of 'Green Ebony'. The bracing is my take on the traditional 7-Fan Bracing System, based in Hauser, with inspirations from Friederich for the Cedar.
In this video, I make the neck of this guitar. It features a matching faceplate and fingerboard that derive from the same piece of wood. I explain a little bit about the joint I use, and I need to redo part of the work because my router wandered when cutting the headstock slots.
I make more than one guitar at a time. Still working on 'Avenir' and 'Nova' and will share some news very soon!
