b'Top:Fitting the neck is probably the most critical part of guitar making.The work cant be seen afterwards, but the results will make or break the guitar in terms of playability and sound.There are several ways of fitting the neck to the body, I have tried them all, and still use different ones occasionally, but i know which I consider to be best in every way. I can achieve one hundred percent wood to wood contact, adjust the angles to the finest of tolerances, and if needed I can remove the neck and set it again years later. Its a big subject and Ill talk about it elsewhere. Bottom left: A simple jig that holds the neck while I work on the joining surface to get a perfect fit. I have two little lamps attached to the jig; my eyesight is still remarkably good but every little helps.Bottom right: One of many, sometimes hundreds of checks to make sure I get it right191'
