Neck Break Angles and Dimensions for a Through Neck Guitar - Podcast 103

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC... and welcome to the 103rd episode of the Guitar Builder's Basics video podcast from Ben at Crimson Guitars, at http://www.crimsonguitars.com.

This is a series of videos where Ben answers viewers' questions on all things related to building custom guitars, tools and fine woodworking.

In this episode, Ben talks about designing a guitar neck for a through neck instrument, the headstock break angle, neck break angle, and overall size. He talks about his design choices and methods, and you can be sure that they don't include a calculator!
