Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC... and welcome to the 80th episode of the guitar builders basics video podcast from Ben at http://www.crimsonguitars.com.
In this episode, Ben answers a viewer's question on how to get the basic geometry of a guitar neck correct.
He uses profile gauges, templates, angle grinders, rasps, and spokeshaves and shows you how to judge what may work best for you, as you make your own guitar neck.
