Hi All,
Trawling through the internet I see a number of ways to create necks ... in particular in terms of the headstock connection:
* cut from single piece.
* Scarf joint.
* "V" joint.
* Stacked joint.
Disclaimer: Please don't cry if I missed any out of the list ... Other types may also exist
Now I kind of get the appeal of single piece and scarf joints when sorting out a headstock.
Is the stacked headstock method a big no no? If so is that due to strength issues and/or the look of the finished neck? or maybe another reason?
Regarding the "V" joint I saw some people do these on the internet but mainly on guitars. Is this pretty pointless for a ukulele/in general? anyone ever bothered to try it?
Cheers
Andy...
