Curious to see more details on what you're doing with the headblock there? Does it make the neck adjustable? I've been making mine with a cantilevered fretboard so they can mount on an (adjustable) tripod.

You can see some of it here IIRC:

Great looking guitar! Looks like you fashioned yours after McPherson. How's it sound?

The neck on mine is fully bolt-on as is the fingerboard extension. Yes, the neck is adjustable via truss rod. I want to try a cantilevered fretboard at some point. Did you copy McPherson or design your own?

You can see a little bit of the support in this video -


Edit - Noticed your raffle is for AHS; the school I went to is AHS only it's Airline HS

No, my inspiration came from several luthiers with articulated necks as documented in a GAL article. And then a lot of borrowing from Todd Rose on this guitar

He also has an entire thread on it in acousticguitarforum.com, but I can't seem remember my login there and the site isn't very recovery friendly, so I don't have time to mess with it right now.

The big difference I made is that I'm now using an off the shelf (fixed) carbon fiber truss rod from Gemini Instruments that's a lot easier to get in place (well with a CNC) than Todds original CF wrapped dowel (which was also made by Gemini).

There are a couple videos on installation on my "personal" channel (I need to move those over to the Luthier channel):

Lastly, don't know if you've seen but I have a thread somewhere in this forum that details an entire build process.
