Hey guys! I'm coming over from this post over on metal necks and yes, i'm very new to this, but i also see huge potential, i want to learn as much as possible about making these guitars! I'm not shy of sharing my work (once there is something to share, of course), i see it more as a learning opportunity.
If anyone has any experience in owning/playing an aluminum neck guitar and could contribute a few answers:
>An accurately measured egc neck thickness, this is vital to my study, and i can't seem to find it online oddly enough.
>Does the backbow created by the truss rod and fret falloff at the high frets in traditional wood necks need to be accounted for when designing a completely aluminum neck? (from internet research the answer is most likely no but i want an owner's opinion)
>How wide do the fret slots need to be for this kind of neck? Would they need to be wider than the standard 0.023"?
