Furthermore I never heard of anybody playing a Taylor electric guitar either! I had a T3 for a while @mattbeels. Beautifully made, but just a bit too big in the body to feel comfortable.

@darrenking. Hi Darren, I've just been watching your Bagpress laminations videos on Mark's courses. It is so hypnotic and therapeutic to watch. I'm now chilled for the rest of the day. Your Acoustic g...

Hi TV, Actually not that nice if you look closely! It has significant worm damage down one side OK - it's a lovely flat piece of Ash .... firewood then. Or it goes in the big box of "that'll come in ...

what are you going to make from that nice flat piece of Ash? Hi TV, Actually not that nice if you look closely! It has significant worm damage down one side so I would need to find another piece to m...

@jonhodgson I’ll keep an eye out for discounts and hope for the best. It would be nice to be able to make everything myself in time.

You would do that with your nut files. @mattbeels given the tiny difference we’re talking certainly nothing to lose by trying it. I don’t have any nut files, they seem to cost a lot, is there a budge...

@tej unfortunately there’s not really that much choice in the world of nut slotting files from what I’ve seen. The cheaper ones I’ve found weren’t really that much cheaper than the best ones, and the ...

@mattbeels Someone must be playing them, they keep making them. I imagine their biggest seller is probably the T5 though, which is more of a hybrid, and has a rather natty looking narrow pickup,

@jonhodgson Thanks I’m not a electric player although I’ve re fretted a few.

@rocknroller912 When you’re talking about actions and fretwork you’re in the realm where a few 100ths of a mm can make a difference.

@tv101 I watched a utube video on this last year, think it might have been Texas Toast Guitars where he radiused a fretboard then put a different curve template over it. A sheet of paper wouldn’t go u...

@Tej, I think it was in a copy of Guitarist magazine that I browsed in the shop, I don’t know if it was ever published electronically

@jonhodgson if you do find it again please share the article, I had a quick search around but couldn’t lay my hands on it.

Or, not enough to worry about .... @tv101 so I did the same just and it measured at 0.0863mm, I’ll leave this one alone 😬 but thank you for going to the trouble of pointing how pointless my c...

@mattbeels, I recall an article on Taylor electrics, and then man from Taylor was talking about what they considered to be the best setup, which was what they did at the factory. Part of it as I recal...

With apologies for my poor mouse control (and hence the extra 0.043mm on the lateral dimension!), here's a blow up of the black dot that you see at the top of the first image, just to the left of cent...

@Tej I was curious, and have too much time on my hands, so I just drew out the dimensions of a 12" and 14" radius circle, aligned them both to the top point of the circle, and measured the height diff...

@mattbeels @tv101 So having mooched around further I’m looking at these instead, any gotchas I’ve overlooked. Still 52mm E to E so my neck taper will be fine and a 12” radius over the saddles: There...
