I used to use a variety of metal files to do the initial shaping, but they can take off too much wood too quickly and roughly, and there's no putting it back on! I can now get the early steps done pretty quickly with the dowels and rough grit sandpaper. *I've read too many horror stories about Dremel mishaps to try that. I also have to figure out how I'd refinish it.

I really don't know how to finish a neck, though my dad did my one maple one for me using Tru Oil and that turned out great.Īnyone else have techniques they can share? I've got an Ibanez Prestige maple neck crying out to be scalloped, but I have to wait for the warmth of spring to work in my garage.

Rosewood being less dense than maple makes that a much easier fretboard to work on, plus no finish required once you remove all the dust just add a couple drops of oil and it's good to go.
While you're at it, you can also very easily roll your fretboard edges (with some of the finer grit sandpaper(s) only), if you like 'em that way.
It's not a hard thing to do, and with a little practice (I used a throwaway neck, which I partially butchered while learning some technique) and plenty of patience you can get it to come out as nicely as you want. I also use a small, flat file to wrap in paper and get right up against the (masked off, I do triple layers of masking tape trimmed w/xacto knife) frets. To do the rough shaping I wrap the paper around wooden dowels, 1/4" for upper frets and 3/8" for the rest.

I've done four myself, and I've gravitated to using hand sanding only*, through a series of grits from about 80 to 800. This item can be shipped to United States.I'm also curious how people prefer to do their own. The neck has also been scalloped as the previous owner was a huge Malmsteen fan. It has mahogany sides and back with a triple-layered spruce top. Im not sure what the neck is as it does not look like a Fender neck and Im pretty positive that is a decal on the headstock and not original.

Variations in scale length, commonly between 24.5' and 25.5', determine string tension, a major contributor to sonic personality.
