| Post subject: | Need a primer on designing a slot headstock. |
I am in the process of making a neck for a tenor uke and just decided I might want a slot head, I have a few questions: 1) I’m using the Stew Mac geared uke tuners, they are meant for a regular peghead. Can I just turn them sideways? Ideally, I will design the head so that the strings use the existing hole (ends of the shaft are not buried in the other end of the slot), alternatively, I will drill a new string hole on the shaft. 2) I already did the scarf at 15ish degrees (before you ask, yes the peghead is currently still thick enough for side mounted tuners), is this too steep? 3) Most important of my questions: I have never done a slot head and since this is an uke, I don’t even have a set of plans to start from. Is there a good resource for order of operations when designing these things? I plan to just start drawing it out from all angles but sometimes things like this have pitfalls that aren’t immediately obvious to me. Tips on what to avoid are helpful. . . |

Hmmmm. Wonder how that affects the sonic qualities of a guitar if you coated the inside of the back and sides with it?

Thanks Kyle, I had seen that before and forgotten about it. One I draw my design, I'll consider making a set of those jigs. |
