@liebe No, the shank diameter must be the exact right diameter. But, I think the manufacturer is the same as in Darren's link, so you may find one the...

@robin I have seen luthier Ted Woodford do something like that in a video (which I can't find now, among all his videos). Basically, he drilled a tiny...

@grizmayhemgmail-com Welcome! Yes, you can ask about anything and get great suggestions in this friendly forum.

Yes! Now it works. The guitar sounds very good and look great. Congrats again!

I think you have to make it public in Google Drive, somehow.

@robin All of a sudden - a guitar! Well done, and thank you for the documentation of the whole build. I hope I can gain the courage to build an acou...

Dylan is a great songwriter, Hendrix was a great guitar player and this is a great cover.

@steveh I usually go to p320 before applying finish. Before staining, I lightly moisture the surfaces and let it dry, to raise the grain. Then a light...

@rathius Or, a simpler solution. Move the springs to the inside of the legs of the bracket, under the pickup. That would allow for two simple drilled ...
