@tv101 I do like the Jazzmaster too. 🙂🙏🎶🎸

I was brainwashed by Fender @Russ - I did own a Fender, once. I had a Jazzmaster for about 3 days - took it as a part-trade for something I wanted to sell, and then sold it on really quickly afterwa...

@tv101 Very true Tony. I was brainwashed by Fender from a very young and impressionable age. I would have one of every model they've ever made........ I'd probably even buy up all the Music Man guitar...

I have a small collection of lawsuit period Antorias. If any more of those show up on my radar then it's a yes. Ahhh - I'd exclude something like that @Peter-johnson! I have a small collection of an...

I'm not even a good enough guitarist to justify owning them but I want them just because I'm quite shallow that way. That's easy to say @Russ - but then how good do you have to be to *justify* having...

I've asked myself this question recently, and the answer is.. "I don't know, maybe, depends". As of today, I haven't built anything from scratch yet. so there are guitars out there I'm interested in. ...

I haven't bought a guitar for around 15 years now Tony but if I had money and space I'd love to be making them and buying them. I still would love to have a Fender Jaguar and Mustang. I'm not even a g...

Does anyone here still *buy* guitars, or do you all just make anything that you want o need? I admit, my eye gets taken sometimes by something shiny that I spot on a website (or on a stand on a workbe...

You are overthinking it ... The 50mm spacing humbucker will be perfect for a standard 52mm E-E Bridge Even if the pole pieces do not line up exactly Make the neck normal size

@boo I do like the Schaller stuff boo. I might use some in future builds..........if I ever get this guitar building off the ground. 🤔 🎸🎶🙏🙂

I've not seen that bridge before. Curious as to how the saddles are made to fit the adjustable width range. I'll measure some guitars tomorrow (if work permits - I've got a shit day ahead). I should...

If you want to make doubly, doubly sure, draw it out to scale You drew it out and posted the pics as I was replying!

I *believe* that string spacing at the bridge is usually expected to be ; traditional Gibson = 50mm traditional Fender = 52mm The difference arises from the different bridges used. Obviously, it's ...

My favourite song today is from a Dutch band I saw at a school party 45 years ago.

Inspired by tv, I've chosen my Punk song for today..... This is My Favourite Song For This Moment..... 🙂🎸🎶🙏

@robin thinking of that. Also have a wipe on polyurethane

That looks good Clinton. You can get very narrow masking tape that model makers use, that might be good to mask off the fret wires while you lacquer the fretboard.

Made my first bolt on following the bolt on course. Just had to do it after watching the recent you tube live streams, I decided on 21 frets. Haha. Access to truss rod however, I opted by the headstoc...

@tv101 the headstock is as big as it needs to be, and no bigger. I might have to add a little bump on the end to have room for my logo, I hadn't really thought that one through.

This is headstock style I'm using in my next build, the strings don't get much straighter than that. That is definitely pretty straight!! Very functional too - the headstock is as big as it needs ...
