@swepri Good advice, cheers

@nsj cheers for that

Thank you both for you advice, as this is only my third build I will probably have heaps of questions, Cheers

Wow! You don't hang around once you get started! It's looking really good 👍

@boo me too bud! Getting a proper high building this one

@poco7 that actually looks amazing, that's going to have to be included on my 'to do' list..i'll bet it plays as well as it looks. Thanks, and it does play well. I had a friend over yesterday, his...

Anyway, I’ve highjacked this post/topic too much so I’ll shut up about it now. No worries @boo , we all need a wee bit of light entertainment.

My first neck developed back bow after carving, single action rod too! Anyway, week or two later when it came to fret levelling etc it had sorted itself. Stewmac actually makes a jig for the issue, ...

As @nsj say, regular length shafts should be ok. The threaded part of a normal pickup switch is probably about the same length as well. Check the thickness around the holes regularly while routing the...

I've just done the dish method for my carve top today. I put something flat inside the cavity then used a vernier gauge to check the depth of the holes and routered the cavity till the holes were abou...

Hi Mark, I am using CTS pots on a Jag build with no pickguard, I want to use your dish method (like it lots), do you recommend short or long shaft on the pots? Cheers TC

I think that's me done the finish sanding now, been going back and forth looking for scratches to remove. Carves for the pots etc are all smoothed off too. And also got the holes drilled for the locki...

Today I got on with doing the recesses for the controls aswell as the jack socket. I like using the barrel jacks, I fit a wedge of wood in the cavity so the nut can sit flat and be tightened easily. W...

@boo stuck all my social media links in me profile, nowhere to stick an email though and no way to message members? But yeh, I'm on pusbook and IG

@usadave Hi Dave, was the neck blank quarter sawn or slab cut? I agree that leaving it for a few days to see if it settles. If it doesn't move from the position that it is in then try supporting it in...

@swepri Agreed...

@tv101 Yup... I agree... Not a big deal to scrap it. But definitely am curious to see what the overall consensus is. 🙂

Newbie answer here. I would leave it for a couple of days to see where it settles. If it gets worse, then the decision would be easy. The string pressure will pull it a tiny bit straighter and maybe t...

I'd be a little worried in that the neck has immediately shown such definite bow tendencies - suggests that it's not a very stable piece of wood, and that you might be forever tweaking the truss rod t...
