neck block material
Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2015 12:02 am
I'm building two guitars based mostly on Jonathan Kinkead's book and plans. He calls for a mahogany neck and also a mahogany neck block, saying they should be the same material so they have the same coefficient of expansion. I don't have necks yet but have been considering cherry (one of the guitars has a cherry back and sides) - should I be using cherry for the neck blocks too? I have done the tops and backs and am just starting the sides so need to find blocks soon.
