I had a contract to build an electric guitar neck to customer specs using my lamination methods.
Assigned Electrical Guitar S/N EN 11110 (first project November 2010)
Here are some of the pictures of it in construction. With slow economy I haven't been too busy in shop
so not much has been happening to change this page.

At the third lamination American Black Walnut additional of tapered lamination for the heel build up

The pegboard has to be one lamination thinner
than the neck for the pegs to fit.
