Hi Louis It's been nearly 30 years since I did my electronic engineering HND but your circuit diagram makes sense. I've never seen a guitar use capacitors that large though - do you really mean 27 and...

Home stretch @louis-kerkove. Yup Boo is right in the fretwire. Really do not want to mess around with inappropriate radius in fretwire. It is nerve wracking as it is already. 9.5 is too extreme for 12...

Don’t forget to leave them a few mm longer than their final length. Get them in and then trim and file flush. Have fun! Yep, what he said. 🙄👆

@louis-kerckhove When cutting your frets to length, a good tip is to start at the last fret. That way if you cut one (or three) too short you can still use it. Say you’re on the 19th and you cut it to...

@louis-kerckhove As the rest of the guys have said it won’t be noticed by 99% of people, it would be a shake to waste a good fretboard. I think it will suit the quirkiness of the rest of the build. It...
