Ha ha that’s a belter. If I’m honest the duel symmetrical plates will actually be easier as I already have the templates and the left over neck scrap I was planning on using isn’t quite wide enough to...

Don’t worry about what shape they are, they don’t have to be symmetrical. There are some weird and wonderful cover plate shapes out there and some can even be comical. Get creative and have fun! Rock...

@cheesewhisk You could even make them join up to sit right alongside the other one. Look at these two, one for the trem and one for the controls. Attachment : 26717399-2426-4704-8F07-AFD7E9AC7D96...

I like your fix @cheesewhisk. Nice symmetry. 🙂🎸🙏🎶

Thanks Mark, Boo. Lots of deep breaths. I’m thinking of doing a second cover plate and aligning it with the first one. thanks for the help and ideas I think they’ve help the imminent meltdown. Also th...

The easy (and probably only) fix: a coverplate - ditch the fancy battery box this time - who will know? We won't tell... @cheesewhisk Actually, yeah that’s a good way to deal with it, just make a big...

On the fourth the flag on my drill but must have moved up with each of the other three hole. I practised on scrap but now I just want to cry @cheesewhisk Oops! Step away from it for a while, do somet...

😲 Dry yer eyes mate...The easy (and probably only) fix: a coverplate - ditch the fancy battery box this time - who will know? We won't tell... Wrap the battery in foam (like the packing foam f...

That’s why I thought you were joking @mattbeels - you’ve posted pics before!

It’s here. Ingenious! Attachment : 53E0BD02-1DBA-491B-8C4B-C97B26105C3E.jpeg Thank you Darren, Mark and Carol!

Next time I will glue the neck in and then put a cap over the whole body top to cover the joint. “It is the only way…” Yeah, if you don’t want a pickguard or a neck pickup I think that’s the way to ...

That’s a lot of work @mattbeels It is indeed but it’s what I need to do. Next time I will glue the neck in and then put a cap over the whole body top to cover the joint. They are both challenging in ...

That’s a lot of work @boo!

This is the skim fill for those pinholes. I just need to sand it back with some 240 and then it’s time for some high build primer. Attachment : EE2B77B6-8BD0-4AEE-9702-A25EC0BBCD47.jpeg
