I use an old bosch GOF900ACE you should be able to pick one up for £50 maybe less, they are very good and reliable, the only problem with them is no extraction, but if you can live with that it's a go...

@rathius yeh I've been using those, I do a shallow recess in the top for them to push into so the nob can still sit flush at body height. But I wire all that point to point then just hook up the pi...

So here it is for a bit - there's some alignment issues and the nut needs sorting but I missed it after playing the strat and acoustic. It's had some additional shaping, carves etc. I have some tidyin...

@boo Thanks Boo, it’s not perfect but that’s why there has to be the next one, isn’t it? 👍🤣 I have been back in the workshop but doing something a bit more down to earth - fixing a cou...
