Any tips on doing a compound angle for the scarf joint on a multiscale? I'm somewhat limited on tools, I do have a bandsaw, table saw and skilsaw, as well as a couple decent hand saws. but, it's very tricky to figure out in my head how to do this properly. I've got a really nice piece of wood that prefer not to fudge up, as the shop where i got is 3 hours away... all advise here is greatly appreciated, I feel this is probably the biggest hurdle I've come across in my guitar building experiences...

Not as difficult as you think, but it seems everyone has to wrestle with this. Key is to do the scarf joint as you normally would, then remove material from the front of the headstock at an angle. Pictures probably help -- my post on my method with a table saw is posted here:http://luthiersforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41115 , but you can also use a plane. Then thickness the headstock from the back to match the plane of the front.

Yep, cut and glue the scarf just like normal, then plane the front until the transition line between neck and headstock matches your marked nut line, and thickness from the back however you like.

Much easier to do it than to understand exactly what kind of shape you created

Make sure the headstock piece has plenty of thickness to start with.

"Much easier to do it than to understand exactly what..." you just did.
This is what I love about this stuff. I have always been one to over-engineer (think too much) about these things, and I usually make twice as much work for myself in doing so.
Sometimes you dont need to know, but just need to do what it takes to get the job done.
In the end you usually end up at the same place; having an understanding of the task.
This happens in many situations in life, not just guitar building.
This is good life advice.

Dot' try to understand it, that slows down the paperwork.
