V2: Correct Bridge and angle slightly lowered into middle section Attachment : NeckTrough-2.png V3: Hump in bottom half of the body slightly removed Attachment : NeckTrough-3.png V1, V2 ...

You could always use a bridge with a separate tailpiece to occupy some of the bump? The bridge is already decided and I have it in my drawer 🙂I just need to alter the plan

Had to contemplated taking the angle from the centre line incorporating the end on the neck into it? AS a matter of fact, I did. But You do have a point though, if you look on the original drawing, t...

I’d make the angle the top wing comes off the bridge end of the through neck more shallow, it looks a bit harsh to me which doesn’t quite work when the other wing smoothly curves. @Tej thx for the co...

This is what I came up with reshaping an existing plan Attachment : NeckTrough-1.png

Welcome @powerful !

@hudsoncustoms Welcome!

24.75" scale length is indeed easier for bending. Same strings feel less stiff then a 25.5" scale length. I guess 25" is a good compromise and probably the shortest scale length to allow for 24 frets...

@frank1985 It is the flat metal part that needs to face up.

A couple of months ago , I started drawing a body shape that I liked on a piece of scrap paper. Attachment : IMG_20210321_170221071.jpg I quite liked the idea and decided to start working out s...

@steveadams I think that rescue looks really good! I agree with @bpower and @rocknroller912.

First time making a neck through. Nervous... Watching this! I am also thinking about a neck tru as my next project!

Use the template to trace the lines, cut out just a fraction outside the line. try to fit your new template in the other one, sand where there's too much, use masking tape to fill too large gaps. then...

@tej I have the same issue with one of my builds. the cutaway should be a lot lower. It is also difficult to balance on my lap because of the weird curve at the bottom of the lower horn. It looks lik...

Kits are great as a confidence builder. It also allows you to start building without having all the needed tools or skills.No argument with regards to quality of any kit is relevant, because, even if ...

That is looking good @tej! you got it under control 👍

I think given the error being quite small a slightly offset bridge will be preferable to laminating the socket and rerouting it as I think that has more likelihood of going horribly wrong. If it is j...

what are my options to correct that, if any? If the neck pocket is not straight, you can shim and reroute if needed. Is it a bolt-on or set neck?
