Scarfed vs. One-Piece Guitar Necks - Part 1

I've heard the debate, but now it's time to put it to the test. Is a scarfed joint on a guitar neck stronger than a one-piece neck? Does short grain really weaken the headstock as compared to long grain? In this first episode of a 2-part series, we'll talk about the differences between the 2 joints, put together a strategy for testing, and give you an in-depth view into the preparations for the test.

Hey, this is Tim with Pilson Guitars. We build acoustic guitars and then give them away. We bring you along for the ride as we talk through different building techniques and try to share things we have learned from other skilled builders as we continue to build on our skillset.
