I have a big problem and an unusual request!!! Sometime ago I purchased a Martin shell, OOO. I thought it was for a 12 fret neck design. Wrong. It's body is too short for a 12 fret neck. I was going to purchase a Stewmac 1 7/8" neck width, which is what I prefer, but it only is available as a 12 fret. Their other neck offered is a 14 fret neck with a 1 3/4" width. What are my options?: 1. Find someone to make a 1 7/8" 14 fret neck? 2. Can I use a 12 fret neck(1 7/8") from stewmac and lower the Bridge to get the correct set up? Is that possible?? I'm stuck. I would prefer to have a 12 fret neck but not sure how to get there. Can you guys help me make this choice?? Thanks Walter ![]() |

Okay The norman Blake is a 12 fret neck on a 14 fret body. This is done by shifting the bracing and moving the bridge to the proper scale location. If you have any questions you can call me and I will be happy to talk you through the layout. You can email me through my bluescreekguitar.com site. It will make a decent little instrument john hall |
