Cheers @boo. On a different note. I almost gave you a shout as I was on holiday in Lunga last week but the grandchildren took up all my time. This was the sunset on our first night...... Attachmen...

Hello Peeps, Does anyone know if there is a difference between a Strat single coil pickup routing template and a Tele neck pickup routing template?......and is there a difference in the mounting rings...

@boo Welcome. Usually with gibson scale I measure 630mm for scale line which is slightly longer, seems to work great.

@somethingnicer Here's what I did on my latest les paul type build. Attachment : SquarePic_20240613_16251884.jpg You can also slice off the lower half of the heel and glue a longer piece on, ...

@boo my ggbo build, the black limba neck through with binding etc. That's a 24.75 scale with floyd, works perfect. A lot of companies have been doing it for years. Post hole centres sit a 1/2 inch for...

@somethingnicer . I think that’s my move. Thanks for talkin this through with me! Your welcome. It'll work out just fine.

@robin awesome…. I think that’s my move. Thanks for talkin this through with me!

@somethingnicer Actually, now that I look at it, this doesn't seem too horrible..... I think the may be the easiest method to reshape on this line. Does that jive with you? That would certainly be ...

@somethingnicer That's an interesting idea. So to do that I would cut out a pickup shaped piece of wood and glue it in and sand it down? Exactly that. Use an offcut from your body blank, you might ...

@robin That's an interesting idea. So to do that I would cut out a pickup shaped piece of wood and glue it in and sand it down?

@somethingnicer Or, you could fill in the bridge pickup recess and route a new one closer to the neck pickup. The bridge would maybe cover most of the filled in piece.

@robin You know I had that thought, I guess it wouldn't be horrible. Just cut a small curve off the top and sand by hand. I'd love to not if possible, lol

@somethingnicer Maybe you could reshape the body by cutting the end of the body back to let the heel protrude a bit and keep the crucial 25" scale length.

@robin It looks like My pickup and bridge spots don't match my original drawing. I think if my lower pup was a bit higher, this wouldn't be an issue

@somethingnicer Can I ask, which part doesn't match your drawing, the body or the neck ?

Hello all, So I'm going through my first build still and I'm running to an issue. Somehow I think I messed up my scale. My neck is mostly done and my pickups are routed and the body cut out. Problem n...

Hi @boo, I've not built one myself, but there's certainly PRS guitars factory made with FR bridges at 25" scale. I don't know if Gibson factory make them, but certainly seen LPs etc fitted with FR. I'...

@jamesbisset I do like the look of them James and some of the others that he makes. I'll have to take a deeper look into this. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Thanks to @russ and @nsj. The Waterslide Guitars Instagram feed reveals that the pickups are Mojo pickups, handmade in the UK. and yes, they’re magnetic. Must admit, now that I’ve found them, I’m qui...
