@nsj That is good news, can’t wait to try it now. Cheers. 👍

@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, ...

Most of the time there are multiple ways to fix a problem, a lot of the time there is at least one way to fix a problem, and there is very little of the time where problems can’t be fixed. Robin’s su...

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

@nsj That is perfect, exactly the info I was looking for. I was just going to try it anyway using a rough and ready quick build and see how things went. I’ll go for it now then. Cheers Neil 👍

@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...

@robin That's an interesting idea. So to do that I would cut out a pickup shaped piece of wood and glue it in and sand it down?

@somethingnicer Or, you could fill in the bridge pickup recess and route a new one closer to the neck pickup. The bridge would maybe cover most of the filled in piece.

@robin You know I had that thought, I guess it wouldn't be horrible. Just cut a small curve off the top and sand by hand. I'd love to not if possible, lol

@somethingnicer Maybe you could reshape the body by cutting the end of the body back to let the heel protrude a bit and keep the crucial 25" scale length.
