Hi I'm going for my first headstock scarf cut and joint at the weekend, have got hold of a big power saw, one of those you can extend the head in and out to crosscut.
Any tips re angles procedure, do,s and don't,s would be greatly helpful, as I've been afraid of the strength of the joint, until now, and from what I have seen of your necks, I really feel that your at the top of the apex, when it comes to necks.
Any or all advise will be very gratefully received.
Thanks In Anticipation
Best Wishes Phil Hale

You played GPW and IB at the same time, dintcha...just like Jamie...heck, I did it myself last night while listening through the big speakers...thanks for listening.
Just thinking out loud: 4-string, medium strings, lam neck out of any woods you want, single soundhole...Have you ever done any mag pups, like a lipstick? That might look kewl...
Wasn't intending to burden you with outrageous customization demands; was basically trying to see if we could come to some agreement where I could purchase a new one, and cuss and discuss the build details, cuz it's fun ;-), just in case these two were already spoken for. :-0
