Cheers @swepri. More to come soon. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

@russ. Great work there!

I’m sorry guys, I’m just terrible at documenting my builds. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I’ve gotten to the point of working on the finish for this one. Started working on the front on ...

yep, I picked up a router template set, so that should help, but never underestimate the level of my ineptitude 😉 Thank you for the pointer as far as the Gotoh - I’ll definitely keep that in mind for ...

@swepri thank you for your suggestion. I really don’t know why I didn’t think of that myself! My old garden bench is in the workshop waiting to be up cycled into something, so I’ve got loads of cheap,...

@swepri yeah, or half a saw width? Which I understand to be 0.29mm, but I think you are probably right in that the difference is not big enough to change intonation.

@simecircle Check your jig using a fret space calculator. Maybe some templates are already compensated and others are not? On the other hand, the difference is only half a tang width, so maybe it does...

@swepri yes, that's exactly what I am thinking - especially if you compare to a zero fret! I don't think my jig does this and I notice that difference on yours is quite pronounced? Anyway, thank you s...

@nsj thank you kindly for the response - my jig does not appear to be offset to be honest.

@steveh musiclily do a decent routing template, only thing missing is the recess for the floyd but that's not to hard to knock up. I'd recommend grabbing a gotoh floyd, 150 ish but fantastic units....

@simecircle Yes there should be a tiny offset, at least compared to using a zero fret. I have a template from Rall, and there is markings for Saddle/Zero fret. The slot for this is a tiny bit wider an...

Well you're cutting the standard fret slot where the nut goes anyway, the jig usually has it as one of the notches to line up so in theory that already happens. Certainly never had a problem yet mysel...
