@rocknroller912 I think what I’ll do is like you said, use some masking tape to get an idea of the angle I need.Not sure of the best approach to making the shims, the table saw would give accurate res...

Posted by: @robin I hadn't thought about the screw holes being out of alignment, we so lucky to have helpful people in this group. @robin I’d have considered that, admittedly just after I’d put the ...

@tej Even with the fretboard overhang and pick guard covering thing I would still try and fill any gaps in the joint, or the string tension will be pulling on the screws only which will probably cause...

@tej I was going to suggest removing some wood from the back of the heel to get the angle that you want, but I see you've considered that already. It would drop the neck deeper into the pocket though...

@boo thanks, I’ll have a look through those, I’ll not be buying from there though, way over priced. I feel I could make similar myself which will possibly only remain true until I try 😬

Have a look at these @tej There is some info on there too about neck shimming. 👍

Fantastic! Fav quotes: I can even hold it and I don't know what I'm doing... Getting there!

@steveadams. I'm sure it will be awesome. 🙂 My wife still says... I just can't believe that, when you strung it up for the first time, it actually sounded like a guitar. And secretly I'm thinking the ...

@bpower You may be the only one as my family would def appreciate a silent guitar when I attempt to play!!! ha ha... I cant quite imagine how that first strum might sound!!! cheers Steve

@robin Thanks Robin..I just wish that I could have put aside a couple of weeks and done thr whole build in one go..it can be frutrating stopping and starting..but even after building a few Teles the a...

well done @steveadams. It is looking great. Can't wait to hear it make some noise. 🙂

@steveadams Another great video Steve. That guitar body is looking fantastic, you should be extremely proud of yourself achieving that. You've inspired me and convinced me that my next build has to be...
