Good job

@koendb Thanks.  Slow progress but getting there. Bridge on tomorrow followed by fret levelling etc. Cheers

@koendb Excellent result, you are gaining confidence in your own ability which is going to move you up to another level of building. It looks like you have a good grain match also. So placing the new dot ?

@koendb Incredibly neat, clean and precise work, I’m enjoying watching you build this guitar. 👍

Posted by: @koendb Mark talks about 2mm clearance at the bridge position, mine is 2.8mm~3mm. Does that just mean that your saddle would be 1mm taller?   I can’t see that 1mm would make a huge difference – but then my…   Read more»

Posted by: @koendb I think that it would not matter if you make sure you have contrasting side dots, or make the side dots in two tone, just make em big enough. If the outer circle is black, and the…   Read more»

Posted by: @koendb Whats the plan for tomorrow then? The plan was to get a bit more done than I actually got done – unfortunately I didn’t manage to get as much time out there as I’d hoped. Because that…   Read more»
