Gibson TB 00 tenor neck
More to follow



This is a mock up of the peghead with my Logo template (metal)
I will add more inlay and then the Logo will be MOP as well
I plan to do a "maple bound  peghead outline  but not the truss cover.
That was done with fine line tape and white lacquer, tinted to ivory
 
 


Pulled frets, ready to inlay with something, don't know yet.
I will use a wider, more comfortable fretwire

routing the binding channel
It will be .060 wide


Peghead will be wide to narrow.
 


I will use a maple side binding as well, so all the bound pieces will be wood.


Now to cut it to profile


Side binding completed
ready to bind peghead


The peghead is now maple bound


I will stain these areas in vintage maple
 
 


Tinted and sealed with shellac, ready for inlay
The neck binding will be dyed to match this color.
 
 


Starting to take on more clear coats
 


Ready to pick inlay


I had alot of stuff in my already created inlay so picked some Lange'ish looking, delicate cut MOP for it


 

Of course other inlay will surround the logo and the MOP truss cover is a must to liven things up..

This does'nt look bad at all, I will see what the boss says


I chose to go with a coat of thin white laqcuer instead of glueing and scribing and then routing
 


 

This gives me a nice fine line to rout onto and also it gives me the idea once again to do a "negative" peghead all in white using black MOP as the inlay and black headstock binding
Funky huh?
I also like to rout the truss rod cover flat sometimes as well and plan that on this one.

Routing and inlaying


I will get these last 2 in and fill the voids with dust and then level it all out

 


Starting the fretting
Frets will be all the way to the binding edge


All sealed in with thin cyano and ready to level
