Cutting the neck angle on a guitar is a critical step in the construction process. The neck angle determines the action of the guitar, the distance between the strings and the fretboard. If the neck angle is too shallow, the action will be too high and the guitar will be difficult to play. If the neck angle is too steep, the action will be too low and the strings will buzz against the frets. The correct neck angle is a compromise between these two extremes.
There are a few different ways to cut the neck angle on a guitar. The most common method is to use a router. A router is a power tool that can be used to cut precise angles in wood. To use a router to cut the neck angle, you will need to first create a template. The template should be the same shape as the neck pocket on the guitar body. Once you have created the template, you can use it to guide the router as you cut the neck angle.
