This is turning into a slow project, which is fine. I bought a 10" drum and a slothead concert neck. I added a small extension between the neck and the body, and I glued and screwed in place a couple of nights ago. The next morning, I received a tenor slothead neck (also from China). I didn't know I had ordered it. It's longer than the concert neck without the extension. I considered removing the concert neck, but decided against it. Instead, I ordered another 10" drum for a second build. The mahogany is left over from the necks of previous builds.
I'm not sure what I'll do about a tailpiece. I have a brass tailpiece from Stew-Mac, but I'm not sure I want to use it. Maybe I'll improvise. My creations will never be competition with real luthiers, but making them is fun.
I don't know how to remove that second picture of the neck and extension.
