Its OK.You can apply the finish over the frets - file/sand it off later - a lot of factory guitars have been made this way. It is not ideal as it makes repair harder but not the end of the world 🙂 I t...

Part 2 - Neck angle and more router mayhem...Don't forget Carol will be shouting out and heckling me with your Q's!

Cheers Folks - That was Great fun! Thanks for helping out all - it takes the pressure off a bit doing a longer build and I'm going to need extra time and brain space to work on the finishing course y...

ps. The truss rod is not used to set the action - it is for correcting the neck bow caused by string tension (I know you knew that 🙄 )

Trial and error...a lot of guitars are made this way - It is not the most convenient design but it works 🙂 Slacken the strings Rremove the neck Adjust the truss rod Reassemble and tune up Test and re...

AMAZING!
