New enhanced neck for all of our “Build A Classic Fender” Series of workshops.
We are very pleased to offer this premium quality neck in partnership with Maximum Guitar Works.
The new Enhanced Necks come standard with hard rock maple and rosewood, dual acting truss rod etc.
The fretboards come standard with “blind fret slots” that means your neck will have ZERO fret sprout.
YES… you will be able to do the hemispherical end frets (Matt still calls them hot-dawg fret ends)
The necks will come with your choice of Telecaster heel or Stratocaster heel.
Upgrading options including premium truss rods, to include a spoke wheel adjust style, and adding carbon fiber stabilizing inserts etc.
Each neck will have your name and the date of your workshop laser marked on the headstock along with the TTG workshop logo.
Of course, you still get to fine tune these necks during the workshop to your specifications and make them fit your hands perfectly.
Workshop also includes body blank and all finishing materials. TTG will provide classic templates for Telecaster and Stratocaster electronics, bridge, a dizzying array of pickup options etc.
We use the Maximum Guitar Works templates so. if you want to do something different that's no problem, contact Steve at Maximum Guitar Works to arrange your own custom template set

This is the fundamental offering of the shop, comprising a thorough exposure to the modern technique of guitar building. Since it presents all the basic theory it is appropriate both for the beginner as well as the old hand who may have acquired obsolete habits in more primitive schools.
The student need have no guitar building experience but should be reasonably familiar with electric guitars and their operation. Regardless of your degree of competency you will be challenged to put forth full effort prior to the completion of the course.
