The three piece maple neck has been planed, joined and glued together (picture 1). An angled headstock has been chosen for this guitar. I have a nice rosewood veneer head-plate which will adorn player's side of the guitar (as chosen by Roy). An angled headstock will help to facilitate the joining of this veneer and creates a smooth transition between fretboard and headstock.. This type of joint is called a "scarf joint." I first cut the angle where the headstock begins (picture 2). Then clamp the shorter piece to the longer piece and plane/block-sand the newly formed angle flush and square (picture 2). The final step is to clamp and glue the two pieces of wood together forming what will eventually be the headstock of the guitar (picture 4).
