Wes it isnt really a scar joint it has an extra piece of wood glued to the bottom of the neck and the you cut away the top part of the headstock to get your angle then you cut off the bottom part to match the top angle then glue some ears on the sides.
It is a lot stronger than a scarf joint in my opinion. Adding the ears make it even stronger because it glues across the two pieces of wood that make up the headstock.
The neck runs all the way to the tip of the headstock this way.
Thanks....Yeah , for now. My aim was for this to be a slide 4 stringer and I was going to fill those channels with silver solder to tie all my silver colors together but I could not get the solder , once melted to stick as an inlay. Lol , So I'm still tweeking.
Hi, thanks for your comment, and advice. I need all the help I can get. Thats a nice instrument in you photo. So there are Yates in SC too.
Have a musical day, Gloria
It wasn't a direct link. Just directions on where to find it. I hope more people start posting tabs that they've also got recordings of so you can put them together. I'm planning to add a lot more...just a bit swamped at the moment.
