@boo thank you for posting those, really helpful to see!

@tej This is the second Bandsman where I carved more of the bottom horn away. Attachment : EF5D5332-7C34-4563-B8A4-AB17E0BEE3CC.jpeg Attachment : 356915AD-6D7F-44A2-B023-2E9427B6BA7C.jpeg ...

@markbailey thank you, i like the suggestion for reshaping too, means I can modify the template I made to instead of doing a new one 🙂

Looks ACE ! If you want to adjust the horns for better access I would suggest something like this: Attachment : C54C869C-F1FD-407F-A296-42A4F4A6FB7A_1_201_a.jpeg

@markbailey so I’ve adjusted the design to take the 24 fret board into account the neck join as I have it would be from under fret 23 to the front of the neck pickup cavity, I think? So the part I was...

Nearly finished, few bits and piece to sort out... Attachment : D8EAE47E-CDE7-46C7-8BC2-29B57EC5105A.jpeg

Autocorrect is beating me here but mostly it makes sense

@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...

@rocknroller912 Not these ones, the taper was short and I just used a drill bit that’d have been fine for pine and not much else so I can’t lay all the blame with the materials 😬 Just hope I c...

@tej One thing that’s often forgotten is that some screws get thicker along the shaft where there is no thread so thats the part the hole needs to be drilled for. The thread part will find it’s own wa...

@rocknroller912 I’ll have a look, it does bug me, I’d happily pay the extra 30p on a set of pickups for them to come with quality fixings, as I said though the pilot hole was too small. I’m not used t...

@tej Cheap screws and bolts made of soft metal are a common problem. If you’re getting into building a lot it’s worth buying bags of spare machine head screws and pick up bolts. They’re not expensive ...

Right, everything is built and I’m onto the setup, the truss rod didn’t cause any scary creaking, not did it puncture through the back of the neck so my fix for my initial router mishap on day one has...

@robin Thanks for the heads up, I checked everything over after installing the electronics and couldn’t see anything like that. I’ll check with the jack plug in though as I didn’t think to check that.

Used some shielding paint from Crimson which went on a treat. @tej I used that on the build I've just completed, its nice stuff. @rocknroller912Thanks. Of course it will play well, what could poss...

@tej Wise move, good work can’t be rushed.

@rocknroller912 Sage advice 🙂 I’m just hoping everything lines up properly when I get a couple of strings on it as there’s not quite as much lateral movement in the pickups as I though there w...

@tej Dont leave it anywhere it can fall over

@rocknroller912 Thanks. Of course it will play well, what could possibly go wrong now!

@tej It looks good in the photos I hope it plays well
