@mattbeels Nice jig Matt. 😁✌️
I know the action is a bit too high right now but I’ve got about 12mm or so to take off the bottom of the neck heal to bring it down to the correct de...
Test fit the neck. Perfect fit. 🤘😁🤘🎸
Here we go, the first proper use of the No-more-sloppy-neck-pocket-o-matic It’s marvellous.
