Four guitar necks are in progress. Actually, there are two more that did not make it into the photo.  All the necks are made of Honduran Mahogany.  The first one on the left is the neck for the guitar I am making (with James’ mentoring), a “000.”  Second from the left is the neck for the “Deep Lake” model being made for a customer in Alaska.  The third neck is for Jeff’s slack key guitar.  The truss rod slot on this one goes up into the headstock for access because with his two soundhole design, the truss rod will not be accessible from inside the body.  The neck on the far right is for our Russell parlour model.  Like the slack key guitar, the parlour has a slotted headstock.  The first three necks from the left have graphite reinforcement, and the sized graphite can be seen in lying their slots.  The graphite is not glued in yet, nor are any of the truss rods.  There will be a Mahogany cap strip glued on top of each of the truss rods.  All that will be done later.  The next step is cutting the neck and body joints.
