Routing a Fender-style neck pocket

[SportCourtCV]

@SportCourtCV yes Stew Mac

I'll buy a router to build my bass guitar, is ok to use a 1HP router ? or do I need a bigger router (2 or 3 HP)

[KISSarmyist]

Oh yea. Order a neck.. That isn't really guitar building.

[jewzRterrorists]

@tibothenr Chisel.

@tibothenr Mate this pretty much ends my journey everytime i think of making a guitar or parts of it.Apart from the knowledge you have to have.....you need tools.So unless you are going to start making lots of them....the cost of the tools for just one or two of them( even assuming that you ll make em right) isnt worth it.

[tibothenr]

@Dreamdancer11 no actually it is worth it ............ i bought a 50$ router and a 10$ jigsaw and some viles and if you take your time and you are prepared to put some money in everything is possible i made a solid body stratocaster electric ukulele

personal message me if you would like to know how i did it with only those tools

[bassman8er]

You guys hiring??

[earnestbunbury11]

Damn. Thanks. Good video.

$23 for a hole in plastic, when I could just use the neck itself as a guide to sticky-tape 3 blocks of wood down?

Thanks, but no thanks.

[GtrDudeL]

@pitrik clueless

[tibothenr]

@pitrik so true
