Strength and Stability


This pictures shows the Carbon Fiber overlay on the Spruce neck block. I laminated the unidirectional 11 oz tape with the Carbon fibers going across the Spruce's grain. This adds strength and stability to the neck joint and keeps the spruce from ever spitting along it's own grain. The neck block is spread wide with the idea of creating lots of sustain. With the way my guitars are constructed I can leave extra thickness at the neck area and when graduate the thickness of the rim as I approach the waist of the guitar. Any questions on this - drop me a line at: rizoratzo@aol.com
