So I'm here at Pete's right now. Got here about noon. As soon as he saw my neck, the plan for today changed.

"looks like a wood shop neck"

Huh.

"ok, grab that vise and change it to that one. Now put your neck in right there by the heel. Don't go past that line. Take the neck at the 1st fret down to. 98" and like 1.1" at the 12th."

Check!

And Check!

" ok, now take that rasp and cut it down flat in between"

Also check!

"draw the center line again and scribble with a pencil all over the area between it and half way to the fret board"

Ok

Now what?

"Round it over"

Did that.
