The Acoustic Guitar Heel:
The Acoustic Guitar Heel consists of several stacked blocks of neck blank wood, glued up with specific grain orientation and neck joint considerations. We also discuss the use of a Neck Block Restrain Jig, which will allow you to complete this Ultimate Guitar Building step very easily.

Typically, the heel is constructed from the same piece of wood as the neck blank. This is not always true though and you certainly do not have to follow this traditional procedure. One of my favorite guitars had a walnut neck and I built the Heel from Burled Walnut and it turned out incredibly beautiful and trouble free.

Classical Guitars almost always use the same wood as the neck blank and you get a dramatic change in the appearance of the heel because all you see is end grain, which is darker in appearance than face grain wood.

Whatever Your Decision is, here are a few steps that should be addressed for this procedure.
