Guitar Neck to Headstock transition question.

[rubinboy9]

I am pretty new to Inventor, I use it for engineering at school but I still encounter new things. Right now I am stuck trying to find a way to create a fluid transition from the headstock into the neck. I have tried quite alot of things, I'm pretty sure I'm approaching this completely the wrong way so... Any suggestions are appreciated 🙂 (I'm trying to get the headstock angled in my finished assembly but I'll have to remake my headstock for that, so right now I'm happy with a simple straight headstock.)

It all kinda depends on what you want the transition to look like.  You might try a swept profile cut following the curvature of the neck as the path.

A sweep eh, never thought of that. I am terrible at keeping my sketches clean and all, so I'll try to do it and let you know here 😄 Thanks in advance.

It doesnt seem to work for me, it's giving me errors, i know I'm doing something wrong, I'll post some pictures of my Ibanez guitar, which pretty much shows what I'm trying to achieve. If you want me to, I can also post my IPT and IAM's. (sorry for the messy room in the pictures, happens when you're 16)

Any suggestions?

Would something with a variable fillet work like in the attached file?

That's what I needed! Thanks 😄
