The only problem I see is the neck is the same all the way from nut to heal.
Unless there is a way to taper the neck from nut to heal???

Way to take all the joy out of neck building.

that is pretty cool!!! Sebastien, did you mean tapering in width, or tapering in thickness, or both?

Like 6 said, the taper is already there before the cut. the springs will hold the cutter to both the jig and the taper. He can also switch jigs (after the initial shaping) then mark fret locations for a compound carve..........pretty cool. I like that he leaves the neck joint and volute to hand carving........ at least some of it is "hand made" if you know what i mean
