A practice with neck taper template and the excellent @bagpress fret slotting jig. Works a treat, accurate and simple to use. Regards Paul Borrett Attachment : 20210107_141533.jpg

Hi Peebee 06/01/2021 6:34 pm @robin, you can also line the neck pocket template with tape just to shrink a little and give a snug fit. That's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that.

That’s how I did mine, I made three in the end. It was just tricky at the outset getting the measurements spot on and aligning the straight edge to rout.

Well got there, this is the most difficult jig of the lot! @peebee I haven’t made my jigs and such yet but I would think this one would be rather easy. If the blank has at least one straight factory ...

@robin, you can also line the neck pocket template with tape just to shrink a little and give a snug fit.

Hi Peebee Its worth noting that there is a difference though and it may / will affect the neck pocket size, so follow this part of the on-line course with a note of caution I would suggest. My heel ...

@Robin, I think you’re right as the distance to the 24th fret from the nut is 476.252mm so close to 480mm. My kit is a 22 fret, so 457mm, just checked again as doubt briefly crept in. Its worth notin...

Hi Peebee Mark says 480mm between them on his video, but for me at the 22nd fret using a 25inch scale the distance between the nut at 43mm and the 56mm 22nd fret I made 457mm, from the scale length c...

Well got there, this is the most difficult jig of the lot! 43mm at the nut then I measured 56mm at the last fret. This is where I strayed from the on line course, Mark says 480mm between them on his v...

TV it has wheels on oneside of the bottom frame so you can tip it up and pull it. I believe you can buy a wheeled frame for it. However, I rarely have to move it to be honest so its fine but just gett...

@peebee Sounds great, thanks for letting me know!

@peebee I meant to ask you, how do you like that saw? I‘m in the market for a new one and Record Power seems like a good choice. How is the quality/stability? Overall impression? Thanks a lot!

@peebee The practicecaster looks really good. I like how you took the belly carve into the top bout. Any more progress? What kind of bandsaw do you have?

Fuitars, that means Futuristic Guitars btw 😂

I've been building guitars from parts and a few kits, without much of prior skills except maintaining my own guitars.Now its time to step it up and make my own neck and body. That s why decided to bec...

@mattbeels yes! Amazing how hard it is to get it just right. I can see why PRS started out using birds. They were unique but also they didn't have to be perfectly spaced. Now I understand more why the...
