fingerboard
The final step in the neck raw assembly on the Mousa 003 hollowbody is gluing up the fingerboard. Next up will be inlaying the side fret markers and roughing out the neck carve.
Chubbuck neck build :: fingerboard glue-up
I use a single-action truss rod on my acoustics and push relief into the neck when I glue up the fingerboards. This way I'm able to extend the range from relief to straight to back bow upon tightening the rod. I also use hot hide glue for this glue-up.
