Even though I already know how to do this, I found this video to be incomprehensibly scattered.
Cool seeing my guitar being featured in a tutorial (mini-torial in this case)!
Keep up the good work! :)
Hang on. How do you bandsaw away the excess from the top where the fretboard is?
You've got the bit where the fretboard overhangs the 'body' part of the through-neck - aren't you going to undercut that by using the bandsaw the way you suggest?
Exacty why I’ve come straight to the comments…. The same question popped straight into my head 🧐
I'm not sure what has changed in your production (Ben and Co) but the videos are looking beautiful lately... The new set, the soft lighting, the multi-cam shoots... WOW. Let the cat out of the bag... What are you doing to get that look? :D
Ben ,get yourself a nice whiteboard in your workshop I think your viewers would appreciate clearer drawings etc..great vid btw.
That's an awesome idea actually.

I think Ben may have a new whiteboard... 😉
Is it Christmas already Helénē ?
Spoiled by engineering explained i see
That's two videos you've drawn it to explain it and it's two times I can't see what you've drawn.
Actually it is simple to calculate the angle for all who own a pocket calculator. If "H" is the additional height you need for the bridge and "L" is the distance from bridge to neck-body-joint, then the angle is:
Angle = INV tan (H/L)
Remark "INV tan" is sometimes labelled "tan-1" on calculators.
Why do you need a break angle on a through-neck, especially with fender-type bridges? You could have the fingerboard stand up 2-3 millimetres parallel to the body top. It makes fabrication a lot easier.
I'd like a minitorial on "how to work out scale length."
You should definitely show off that neck through ebony build that we saw a while ago, i think that's it in the background if im not mistaken.
Hi Ben...loving the 'mini-torial' format! How about showing us how you do the control cavity covers that go right up to the edge?
please make a video that shows how to find the centerline. that would be great
You start with the center line and base everything off of that.
Centreline is first!
My issue is do you just shave the bottom of the guitar? Shave it out of the neck pocket? Cut it from the fret board? Neck? I wish I could she it in the build
Hi. I love learning about guitars and I've been binge watching all your videos. I have to say you should be a professor at university. You sir have the gift of the gab. The question i would like to ask is:
when placing the straight edge on top of the fretboard, is it supposed to hover right about a tuneomatic bridge or touch where the strings are going to sit in the saddles?
"I want that from behind" - Ben Crow, 2016.
I've actually avoided this all together on my first build by just lifting the neck off of the body just under the height of the bridge and keeping it level. the action turned out beautifully
I'm about to do my first guitar, and I was wondering to do the same, didn't the neck-body joint look odd on your guitar ?
Can you put the neck on a angle and keep the body flat to accomplish same
could you do a mini trial of cutting a neck pocket for set neck guitars? or show to make a correct join for a les paul type neck
Hi love your videos and especially your guitars but I would love to know when you are going to start making the acoustic crimson guitar 🎸???
show us how to replace a truss rod!
Nice work man
love your videos and have learned a lot from watching them. I have a guitar I'm currently customizing, and it is a name brand but a lower level guitar. it has dot inlays, which I'm thinking of changing anyway, but currently, most of the dots are unevenly inlayed and are at least half below the hole drilled for them. is there a way to level them, or should I drill them out and use rose wood plugs?
In this video is a Parker head and its a rebuild i think. So ist that legal?
Ben: "This is supposed to be a MINI-torial. This is a TUtorial."
Me: "More like a THREE-torial."
hey! :) Do you think you can make an exemple of a Patina copper top model? :)
Hi can anyone tell me what file a luthier would use to file the v groove for the strings in the saddles on a Tune-o-matic bridge?
A regular fine cut triangular needle file

Like this for example
Thanks :)
hi ben a quick question why don't you do bass guitars
he does :>

mini tutorial on how to do a DIY emg style solderless wiring system
Thanks ser so much for this. Just what I nead.
My pleasure, this is one of our most commonly asked questions! Glad to be of help. B
Don't do break angles. Just recess the bridge. Also if you use a hipshot or small profile bridge, you don't even need to recess or make a break angle at all.
It's my guitar and this is how I want it. I'm sure Ben knows many other alternatives to break angles, but like I said, this is how I want it.
👍
Cameraman in the shot, unsubscribed. :)
Serious notes tho, I'm surprised you didn't pass out with how fast you were talking. Also, might do something else for drawings, I couldn't see anything you wrote down.
I don't understand why people can't grasp this simple procedure, this is the second video where Ben clearly shows how to find the break angle. Stop complaining and just rewind and re watch until it sinks in your head. Thanks for the video Ben. Still waiting for the DVD les paul style build.
Should we let this guy know someone drew on his head last night after he passed out drunk?
Is it somehow worse that I wasn't drunk? Haven't in fact been drunk in decades.. B
Lol. You made me paranoid about the break angle for years. Saying how your guitar will be ruined if you don't get the angle/degree measured correctly. This vid makes me a bit less hesitant.
But do you know where your towel is?
At the start he called it a torial wtf
Completely lost.
Nobody ever needs to know the break angle. It's a useless piece of information. Which ever way you shape the body for correct bridge height, at no point of the process do you handle an angle. You don't measure the angle, because it's too inaccurate. You measure horizontal and vertical distance.
