@pompei, Electronics will fit, but don't count on the tremolo to fit exactly, nor any pickguard hole to line up exactly. Even the neck pocket and width of the nut might be different.Best thing to do i...

@russ Thanks! I have had guitars long enough to know that making money from them is a worthless quest!

@koendb Thanks!

Welcome @pompei. Enjoy your "modifying". Hope it goes well. In my limited experience I find it easier building from scratch than modifying or repairing other guitars but if you can master it can be an...

Welcome to this awesome community @pompei !

Yes it did. I’m very pleased with the results. Definitely a smart purchase. Now to collect a few. 😂

I have been gifted an Encore Strat style guitar which I guess is about 20 years old. My plan is to re-finish it with a burnt orange sparkle finish and lipstick pick ups. Given that I will be strippin...

Never built a guitar before but I'm planning on "modifying" some old cheap guitars ...

I'm a bit scared of big router bits too. My way of handling things with sharp edge tools is to take a series of small cuts rather than being too agressive. And try to remember to watch the grain direc...

I've got one of those (1/2") surfacing bits too. Hugely useful piece of kit. Not the sort of thing that you need to use every day, but when you need it, you *need* it!! I've used mine to take old ...

Attachment : image.jpg I know right! Actually kinda scares me it’s so big. I have a 4 wing surfacing bit that’s almost as big around as this one. Yes, it’s a 1/2” bit too. It came with a spacer ...

Wow. That is a BIG router bit. I guess it’s handy for removing the bulk of the blank, so you can focus on the final shaping. But can you beat the feeling of a neck taking shape in your hand as you car...

@koendb I was thinking of using it to do the majority of the carving on the back of the neck with it but still leaving a bit of wood for final filing, shaping, and sanding. Just trying to make things ...

I don't think a router is the best way to shape a neck. It is not a uniform shape. I would use a rasp and/or spokeshave.

I’m not sure if there is a definitive answer to this question, but as far as I know Dreadnought and Jumbo models are better for flat picking. I play finger style myself so I’ve often thought that a 12...
