This is part 7 of a complete series on making an electric guitar at my home. in this video i show how i made the preliminary neck taper and route the trussrod channel.. When the truss rod is in the correct position, make two pencil marks on the neck, representing the front and back of the truss rod. these will be the ends of the channel. place the neck in the truss rod channel carving jig and tighten the screws to hold the neck firmly in place.. The truss rod used specifically is this one, which is a two-way rod. the construction type is two-piece construction, meaning not a one-piece neck; this is the style where the rod is installed first, then the fretboard glued on afterward, meaning not installed through the back..
