Necks

Neck geometry is central to the playability of a guitar. Given the wide variety of hand sizes, musical styles and playing techniques it is no wonder that I make a lot of custom necks.

I make each neck individually so nearly every aspect of its shape can easily be customized. Scale length, string spacings, shaft profile and fingerboard width and taper are among the many variable that can be adjusted to suit a players needs.
