RE: Second build Thanks @nsj I'll check that out @russ I don't have any more photos, but essentially I'm clamping directly on to my bench top. It was all a bit of an experiment and I had planned to cut some holes in t... |

RE: Bolt-on necks and trussrods Mine are all one way. I've not watched that video yet. The truss rod recommended for the Bandsman build is a slimline 2 way and that fits into a neck with glued fretboard without issue, if that helps. |
