Good job Boo, looks great.

That is a nice guitar, I like the open grain look, well done.

Interesting, I am planning to use P90’s in my first build. I guess I’ll have to wait until they turn up and measure them, make a template and get hold of the correct router bit.

Never cut the body shape /neck until you’ve done all the routing!

A couple of little jobs done today. First swapped my bandsaw blade as it was blunt. Made the headstock thickness jig, nice and simple that one and three sanding blocks made from some mdf. I think that...

That looks great, Teles are nice esp bound. I fancy doing a Thinline in the future.

What an excellent thread. I've been mostly offline for a couple of days so now feel like I've missed the birth of this build, and it seems like its developing quickly! (Or maybe it was the conception...

@tv101 they are some nice builds, I really like the PRS style in the first pic with what looks like a walnut body.

@peebee Yep! You are really travelling down the rabbit hole now! Mrs ordered me a Bailey Electric Guitar kit last night too! I am going to be very cross once this Furlough ends!

Wot's that? The superglue and masking tape trick? Couldn't say! but possibly

Heres mine, cant play any of em. The strat is the nearest I have gotten to making my own, it is a Crimson Kit with Tonerider pups. Attachment : 20201210_113120.jpg Attachment : 20201210_113...

Headstock angle jig made out of 18mm MDF. First time using NEC floor tape too, much quicker than the method that shall not be mentioned. For the angle I measured as per the instructions on the course ...

I think I will be doing some more tomorrow! Make a jig and you can make a hundred guitars!

I manage something physical today, my first jig. Attachment : 20201209_135121.jpg Missed the live stream though.

Redrawn the posts in the correct position. Attachment : DD6051B0-6088-467A-85C8-4BB84A8B26F4.jpeg

Thanks Boo for taking the trouble to put these videos together. Very helpful and clear. I had cocked up, I had the bridge front edge on the 6mm line so as you say the posts would be too far back. just...

@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 b...

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. I will do, thanks could’ve been a gotcha!

The 11.96 is closest to 15/32nd of an inch if that drill is available?

I agree with trying an 11.5mm drill as a first option. I wouldn’t go down the masking tape route personally.
