I want to start on an 8 string made out of poplar. I have all the wood, but I have some questions, such as:
-What type of headstock would be easiest to make, and could you explain how to make it, or at least some tips?
-What type of trussrod would be best?
-What would be the measurement of the nut?
-I'm hoping to get a 36 fret neck from Lmii. What type of fret wire would work the best for this? And what size fretboard do I need, like a bass or something?
-What's the best wood glue for this?
Some details of this build:
Most of the body and neck will be made from one giant piece of this poplar. Two pieces will be laminated on to make the the edges of the body sides. It will be an 8 string, 27.5 inch scale, with the 36 fret board mentioned earlier. Body shape is still to be thought of.
Thanks in advance,
