@peebee It’s looking good but I can’t see where the scale length line is. Make it really clear so you can’t overlook it. Also, if you are using the Wilkinson wraparound bridge, have you measured 6mm back from the scale length… Read more»

@peebee make sure your tuners line up and that the horns on the headstock are not in the way of the pegs of your tuners. Looks like it may.

@peebee
Your drawing looks great, which bridge do you plan on using? -
