@boo if it haqppens again just glue the neck in and glue the ferrules in then glue screw heads in 🤣 🤣

I got mine out of aldi years ago, still going strong. Came with the snake attachment too which helps when I drill those ferrules off centre lol I try and use a nice small bit to do pilot holes so th...

Hey @Boo while I remember, got these from tool station, pretty cheap but can be pretty handy. There's a little dremmel sized one in the kit too. Attachment : 20220209_181511.jpg

I say old bean, get yourself a dremmel, there's a good chap what what 🤣

@boo Welcome. Usually with gibson scale I measure 630mm for scale line which is slightly longer, seems to work great.

@somethingnicer Here's what I did on my latest les paul type build. Attachment : SquarePic_20240613_16251884.jpg You can also slice off the lower half of the heel and glue a longer piece on, ...

@boo my ggbo build, the black limba neck through with binding etc. That's a 24.75 scale with floyd, works perfect. A lot of companies have been doing it for years. Post hole centres sit a 1/2 inch for...

Guitarists name is Caleb Nelson apparently, he's on IG and FB, could try dropping him a message maybe. Other than that I got nothing from googly! Lol

I've ruined a couple of bodies, a couple of necks and an almost finished build! But, I've learnt to get over stuff pretty quick these days and just get on with it lol.

@steveh Trussrod fully tight and still bowing forward? You could try adding a bit of physical pressure to pull the neck back and see if the trussrod will turn more. Or, you could somehow pull down...

@markbailey learnt to carve the top and got inspired to do the heel from one of your lives where you did that carve top with an amber burst.

@russ I'm all about the superstrat myself but it's nice to build variety.

@liebe depends on whether it's glued or bolted, I like bolted pretty snug if possible but glue in needs room for the glue and to tight can cause real issues. Don't want a lot of side to side slop but ...

Thought I'd started a thread on this one but can't find it so maybe not lol. Anyway, latest build is now done. Brazillian mahogany with ash, ebony board and gotoh hardware. Went with ivory cream bin...

@liebe Radian tools sell a planer bit to use with a router sled, it's excellent. Just take small bites. A thickness planer or planer table is a lot more likely to take chips out of figured wood. As...

@liebe make yourself a cheap router sled, I recently did that with a piece of contiboard and a couple of rails. Great for getting things straight. Then I'll stick it through my thickness planer to get...

For gluing it's better rough so 80 is good. I think the join disappears more and also glue gets a better hold, gets right into the fibres instead of floating on the surface.

Flat, no light showing through. And yeh it can be a pain in the muffler prepping wood but it has to be done. Handplane, sanding, router and straight edge etc

Well this turned out nice, sounds great, plays great but I'll probably get a green arm at some point lol Final video will be up in a day or two on my youtube, NSJGuitars Attachment : SquarePic...

And a bit more, tops glued on, edges filed and sanded over and my tele neck pickup ring finally arrived. Also copper on headstock and logo on trussrod cover. Drilled the temp screw holes I used to hol...
