For a noob you have no idea how much questions like that fill me with dread. For this I was using mm.

@jonhodgson don't panic, this has 22 frets.

Are you also familiar with the Hamer Virtuoso? @mattbeels I wasn't until now, looks interesting

Rubbing the two surfaces together after the glue has been applied but before clamping helps to mate the surfaces together and prevent slipping after clamping. It’s known as a rubbed joint as opposed t...

. a tad extreme don’t you think @mattbeels You say extreme, I say firm, but fair. 22 Is forgivable on the basis that some people just want the tone of the pickup in that 24th fret position, it is aft...

@boo I’ve done a similar type of job where the owner wanted to remove the tremolo bridge and fit a fixed one. I did it by creating a template to fit the tremolo cavity using thick Perspex and then use...

To be brutally honest, having just watched the video, is it worth saving that body? It doesn't look to be the best mix of woods, and with the combination of the misplaced trem rout, and the rout-throu...

Would making the hole square be a good idea as a square block is easier to cut? Maybe make the block longer than it needs to be so after the route you've got glued wood on three sides instead of one? ...

I'm betting he's doing what @clinton described. (what was that??) @tv101 I dunno! 😳

It's not my usual behaviour, but I'd have to agree with @mattbeels just this once. @tv101 Thanks buddy! ✊

22 or 24 frets will do me but no less.

I feel slightly cheated if I have fewer than 24 frets, 21 frets on a modern guitar should be a hanging offence in my opinion. I agree with you @jonhodgson, well except for that part about the hanging...
