@rocknroller912 I’ll keep that in mind if I ever make a “real” guitar then. Measuring the string lengths nut to bridge on another guitar with the same scale length suggest the adjustment should be mor...

Blunt router bit perhaps?

So sorry about your troubles @steveadams! Have you come up with anything or heard from Mark?

@steveadams I know this is stating the obvious but no one has said it yet. The difficulty you will have fitting another inlay if you can’t get a clean channel is that the centre has been removed so us...

A lot of good hard work going on there @clinton. 👍😁 🎶🎸🙏🙂

@clinton shaping up nicely!

Good thing this is only a practice on cheap wood as it didn’t go too well. I got some bad tear out around the outside edge and had to do a fudge with violin purfling. Definitely going to be wall art. ...

@tej If it’s got side adjustment it sounds like a plan but I’m not an electric guitar expert. If your neck is a tight fit there shouldn’t be much difference between the test fit and the final. I can s...

@rocknroller912 this is the bridge I have below. It’s a little different to the one @markbailey uses in the video. I was planning to mount it with the posts in line with the scale length line but 6mm...

@rocknroller912 it’s a gotoh 510UB my concern is around possible need for lateral movement as opposed to the intonation. I’ll set it up on some scrap and see what play there is in it.

@tej What type of bridge do you have. If it has some intonation adjustment that should take care of any small changes after the neck is glued.

@frocesterbill that was my thought but there’s no play in it, I’ve rushed a few decisions on this build and things haven’t always gone to plan, hence the paranoia!

If your neck pocket is tight then the neck will be in the same position so you should be able to drill bridge holes now - can't see it being a problem - only issue would be if the neck can wobble side...

As I need to apply the guitar finish before glueing the neck I’m not sure when to drill the holes for the bridge. Current thought is that I could dry clamp the neck in now and drill the bridge holes t...

A few minor scratches to get out now, then deciding when to drill the bridge holes. Also need to focus a bit of time shaping the tips of the horns as they’re a bit sloppy. Attachment : 90BE98F8-4E...

but do I think I could convince my wife a thickness sander is a good idea @bpower simply run a poll on here and show her the result of democracy. Surely she’d respect the result and support the idea ...

I would suggest the fretting hammer made by Summit and sold at Tonetech @mattbeels forgot to say, thanks for the recommendation it worked a treat 🙂

@tej Here is the link plus one on the knife it might be mentioned in both. Hope you have got Aldi out of your system, their advertising blurb is as infectious as Covid. Don’t be fooled again, ha...
