@tej Some sound advice from @robin Maybe also a good idea to measure the DC resistance on that neck pickup. Could be a defect in the pickup too

Annoyingly the neck pickup is really low output, it’s not as hot as the bridge one anyway but the drop in volume between the too is far too significant. So if anyone can suggest a sound approach to di...

Hi, so having built the guitar I didn’t check both pickups before screwing everything down and stringing up etc. Annoyingly the neck pickup is really low output, it’s not as hot as the bridge one anyw...

@rocknroller912 Ah ok so you’re just “drilling” round the screw, thanks for the idea!

@tej There is an easy way to get broken screws out, it’s debated a lot LG guitar forums. Fing a small metal tube just the diameter of the screw (hobby shop or Amazon). File some sharp teeth at the end...

@rocknroller912 Not these ones, the taper was short and I just used a drill bit that’d have been fine for pine and not much else so I can’t lay all the blame with the materials 😬 Just hope I c...

@tej One thing that’s often forgotten is that some screws get thicker along the shaft where there is no thread so thats the part the hole needs to be drilled for. The thread part will find it’s own wa...

@rocknroller912 I’ll have a look, it does bug me, I’d happily pay the extra 30p on a set of pickups for them to come with quality fixings, as I said though the pilot hole was too small. I’m not used t...

@tej Cheap screws and bolts made of soft metal are a common problem. If you’re getting into building a lot it’s worth buying bags of spare machine head screws and pick up bolts. They’re not expensive ...

Right, everything is built and I’m onto the setup, the truss rod didn’t cause any scary creaking, not did it puncture through the back of the neck so my fix for my initial router mishap on day one has...

@robin Thanks for the heads up, I checked everything over after installing the electronics and couldn’t see anything like that. I’ll check with the jack plug in though as I didn’t think to check that.

Used some shielding paint from Crimson which went on a treat. @tej I used that on the build I've just completed, its nice stuff. @rocknroller912Thanks. Of course it will play well, what could poss...

@tej Yes it makes a nice neat hole that you can plug

@tej Wise move, good work can’t be rushed.

@rocknroller912 Sage advice 🙂 I’m just hoping everything lines up properly when I get a couple of strings on it as there’s not quite as much lateral movement in the pickups as I though there w...

@tej Dont leave it anywhere it can fall over

@tej @robin @cheesewhisk @boo Fret slots are definitely clean and deep enough. Looking closer at the fret now, it appears to be on an angle. The side that's facing the heel end looks like it's farther...

Thanks guys. I just dropped off the CAD model at the print shop, so that I can have full-size prints made. I just finished up teaching Blueprint Reading so my students have "A" size prints in hand now...

@wolframmalukker Welcome to this wonderful community! I am curious about your ukelele build! I have all the parts laying around (and the plan ) to build one myself too..

@wolframmalukker Welcome to the group, it sounds like you have the ideal setup for making guitars, I'm on a knife edge waiting to see what you produce.
