Well Good and Bad news time.

Bad news is that I am going to have to re-do the neck core from scratch.

It is starting to split apart due to insufficient glue used, partly my fault partly somebody who I though had more knowledge about glueing's fault.

Good News, I still have plenty of timber and now know more about what I am doing.

Basically the new neck core is going to be slightly thinner than the previous monster I made. It is also going to have more laminates in it to add strength and I have ordered a trussrod from Stewmac, so that will go in there and the neck will be slightly thinner too.

Guess its just one of those things, but at least now I have had the experience and can learn from it.
