Neck angle jigg actually done. Well all bar the strips, would cork work? I don’t have hard wood strips.

@matt but you might consider removing a little wood with a file or reamer to get them in there, it shouldn’t take too much?!? I did consider that, but don't want to have loose sloppy fit. I'd rather...

@boo Top drawer Robin, I’m proud of you for being proud of what you have done. I'll take that as a compliment, I think!

@eddie6string I always drill undersized holes where possible and finish with a taper reamer. It can allow you to correct minor errors like yours I like that idea. Hopefully I'll be reunited with my...

@Rocknroller912 In the photo at the top I noticed that you have a router. Or if a drill bit is too long you could use a small diameter router bit. That's the way I'm thinking. I've also got a plung...

I've drilled all 6 holes consistently off square and the tuners won't sit flat. That's a bummer @robin. I guess it's yet another learning experience. Cheers, Russ 🎶🎸🙏🙂...

Build #002 had been going so well until I did a trial fit of the tuners yesterday. I've drilled all 6 holes consistently off square and the tuners won't sit flat. I couldn't use my bench drill, it's o...

Look forward to chatting sometime soon. Hi @eddie6string. I've sent you an email at electric lady. Cheers, Russ 🎶🎸🙏🙂

@russ No stress. It would be useful to have a DM facility amongst members, but I guess you'd have to have a 'block ' option too. Look forward to chatting sometime soon. I know this academy isn't to ...
