@swepri thanks mate. I should have spent a bit more time researching before asking, but really appreciate you answering. Looks like I can get at 8mm...
Hi @swepri These have just come back into stock. It says they have an 8mm shank, my router has a 1/4. I'm wondering if these will fit my rout...

Thankfully, gluing the neck went well and I now have a new guitar if sorts. I practiced staining on an offcut off the top and really enjoyed the pro...
