@swepri Of course, why didn’t I think of that, I do generally tend to make things more complicated than I need to, one of the consequences of overthinking things!!🤣🤣
Thanks for the confirmation sweeping, much appreciated 👍😃🎸

I don’t have any experience of fan fretted guitars and would bow to the greater knowledge of anyone that does. Would I be right in thinking that each string would have it’s own scale length and that could be determined…   Read more»

The specs for most of the jigs are given on the relevant lesson page either in “what you need” or in “dimensions”. I made the headstock angle jig to the dimensions given and reckon the angle to be about 9degrees…   Read more»

@kalimar Hi and welcome to the forums, like you I’m just started on my first scratch build, so a bit nervous and excited about the journey ahead. There’s lots of great advice to be had from experienced builders right here…   Read more»

Housework can earn brownie points which can be spent on guitar building time🔨🎸🤣
As for the centre line paranoia, I find regular medication helps🍻👍🤣

Hi and welcome to the group, enjoy the journey!! 
Normally I’m to be found in Northeast Scotland but by a strange coincidence I’m currently very near High Wycombe!! Looking forward to heading north again and resuming my own build.
All the Best,
Brian.

Welcome Emma, wow Uganda, we are a truly international community!!👍😃🎸

@chrishamilton Oh, and don’t forget the output jack as well 👍🤣

@chrishamilton  Hi again Chris, Was just thinking about your electrics problems, the most likely culprits are probably the volume and tone pots and the pickup selector switch. Try cleaning these with contact cleaner spray, it might just get some life…   Read more»

Hi Chris,
Welcome to the community from someone even further north!! Sure you will find answers to all of your questions. Happy soldering👍😃🎸
All the Best,
Brian.

@swepri That’s an approach I’ve used often, usually before clearing out with a chisel e.g. in cutting a mortise. Would definitely reduce the amount of material to be routed out.👍😃

Thanks Rocknroller, that pretty much confirms my thinking on router bits. Of course I’ll be doing practice cuts on scrap wood first to assess the results. Just goes to show there’s always more than one way to skin a cat!!…   Read more»

Hi, thanks for the info, I didn’t mean that I would attempt a full depth cut staring from my pre drilled hole, just each 3mm or so incremental depth cut and gently easing the bit into the material. Yes, some…   Read more»

@tv101 Great that you get the most out of your CNC and, yes, it must allow you to do stuff you couldn’t or wouldn’t otherwise attempt. On a slightly different tack here, most of the routing I’ve done in the…   Read more»

@tv101 Being a poor pensioner, I’m not likely to be able to afford/justify the cost of a CNC and don’t really have the space for one (mind you it would probably fit in the space currently occupied by a Radial…   Read more»

@tv101 CNC eh, hmmm. Surely that takes all the fun, excitement, frustration, blood,sweat, tears, satisfaction (delete as appropriate) out of this wonderful mad journey we’ve embarked upon!!🤣🤣
P.S. I’m only jealous I don’t have a CNC👍🤣🤣

@rocknroller912 👍😃

@swepri 😃👍

@tv101 Exhibition tape seems to be the answer.👍😃
