RE: Jigs, patterns, and lines on paper

@tej @robin @cheesewhisk @boo Fret slots are definitely clean and deep enough. Looking closer at the fret now, it appears to be on an angle. The side that's facing the heel end looks like it's farther...

RE: Jigs, patterns, and lines on paper

Then I attempted to start putting the frets in. I couldn't even get the first one to go in all the way. The slots were filed before the attempt but that didn't seem to help enough. @wayne_f Did you ...

Oh wow that's a lot of work you've got done @wayne_f it's all looking great. I agree with you on the neck being the most hard work, like Mark says, it'll keep you warm. I found the neck the most sati...

RE: Jigs, patterns, and lines on paper

@wayne_f I would agree with @tej there, it looks like the ends are in, so the slot must be deep enough. I'm assuming that you're hammering them in and not pressing them. If you're hammering while su...

@tej There is an easy way to get broken screws out, it’s debated a lot LG guitar forums. Fing a small metal tube just the diameter of the screw (hobby shop or Amazon). File some sharp teeth at the end...

RE: Low output

@tej Are the pick ups a matched set or did you buy them separate from different brands. It might be that the impedance on both is different.

@tej Some sound advice from @robin Maybe also a good idea to measure the DC resistance on that neck pickup. Could be a defect in the pickup too
