Good morning Gentleman. I need some guidance here. My question is this....... the mandolin I have been working on had a very large neck. My Son is used to a smaller neck profile. I rasped the neck down to a more suitable size. I hope I did not go to far. The neck thickness close to the first fret is 20mm including the fretboard, thicker at the nut. But the neck has a fairly sharp V, so not as much meat on the sides. The fretboard measures about .180 thickness and has been fretted but not glued on yet.
The neck no longer has a truss rod, I put a stiffener from some ironwood I had here and epoxied in.
1. Is there any adhesive I can use that would add strength? Not worried about removal.
2. Should I be concerned about the string tension on this mandolin? I would like your opinion based on the description. Thanks, Gentleman
