@somethingnicer I think I understand. The humbuckers are covered, making the slug coil difficult to measure. Ultimately, on the bass pickup, the white wire is the +, the cloth wire with the core is the -, and on the treble…   Read more»

@liebe thx for the reply. The thing with AI. is that it swiches the wires and the connections all the time so i started to doubt. I think @somethingnicer would now the answer  he makes pickups. Prs turns his pickups…   Read more»

@somethingnicer You can do all of the above. You’re right about all the things that could happen whichever way you choose. You can fit little strips of Teflon into the slots to stop them clogging up fully if you decide…   Read more»

@somethingnicer I used that on an oak fretboard, seems fine but it’s also super easy to re apply later if need be.

@somethingnicer
ahh! Precision engineering. 😁🙌

@somethingnicer looking good
 

@somethingnicer
I’ve seen a couple of guys using this…… not just on the neck but on the whole guitar.

@somethingnicer You did all the right things. It’s just incredibly difficult Inlaying onto a maple fretboard. Just keep practicing until you become the master.  I have seen people use the black super glue with the ebony inlay which did give…   Read more»

@somethingnicer yeh just something I noticed with mine but mine isn’t an actual dremmel so was wondering if yours was because that would make it a bit crap for routering. Last thing you’d need is the bit wobbling about.

@somethingnicer no I mean the chuck in the extension, it’s not as stable as the chuck in the actual tool. Like it has a bit of play compared to the chuck in the actual tool which is fairly rigid.
 

@SomethingNicer is the extension as stable as the actual dremmel? Like in my other brand tool the extension where you insert the bits has a tiny bit of play whereas the actual chuck of the tool is solid.

I can’t say that I’ve ever come across an adapter @somethingnicer but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. I’ve always found that having the Dremel itself attached gives a nice balance but I can understand that there might be…   Read more»

Nice work @somethingnicer. I do like the colour of this one too. 🙌 
🎵🎸🙂🙏

Ah @somethingnicer, that sucks, I feel for you, man.
Still, I bet you never do it again!

Hey @somethingnicer, I think @brie had hit it on the head. The figuring in wood is the grain going in different directions and potentially density. As you’ve found out this can make carving out routing a bit more tricky.  I’ve…   Read more»

Excellent work Chris. Fantastic first build. Nice little headstock inlay and I do like the all black look. 
Onwards and Upwards.

Hi @somethingnicer 
The nut does have to match your fretboard radius. You could try making one from a blank but there are some premade ones out there for Strat style 12″ radius.

@somethingnicer
That is exactly right. 👍🏻 
🙂🎸🎶🙏

@somethingnicer Are you using a fret template and a fret slotting jig to make your fretboard? If you are then the template will have a notch marking the slot for the nut and then all the frets. Place the blank…   Read more»
