@rocknroller912 still thinking about it but thinking of using a pulley instead so that I can just use a shaft I know is true. Given the blanks are to ...

@jonhodgson if you do find it again please share the article, I had a quick search around but couldn’t lay my hands on it.

@tv101 so I did the same just and it measured at 0.0863mm, I’ll leave this one alone 😬 but thank you for going to the trouble of pointing how pointles...

@mattbeels @tv101 So having mooched around further I’m looking at these instead, any gotchas I’ve overlooked. Still 52mm E to E so my neck taper wil...

The edit function really needs fixing!!

@tv101 sadly this is the kind of thing that will bug me! Given I’ve not started the actual build I’ll look for another bride, in fact gotoh to a separ...

So from a glace it doesn’t look like they will adjust in height after all. Just need to work out what the reality of that is. Given I’ve not started i...

@tv101 curiously that’s what I was planning to use for mine, so much more of the sound depends on what you plug it into it’s hard to get recommendatio...

@mattbeels irritatingly i didn’t consider the radius of the bridge despite ensuring the fretboard radius was what I wanted. I’d presumed that the sadd...

Hah, yeah I thought mentioning the scale length was somewhat irrelevant afterward. I think they’d be bang on if I’d gone with a 54mm bridge, anyway, g...

@tv101 I honestly thought I’d looked on axetec as I was looking to get pickups from there!! Clearly didn’t look very well! Does remind me though that ...

@tv101 Agree on that one, I’ve seen a few metal ones about, crazy high price tag for what they are though. If you’ve found good quality ones at a sens...

Thanks guys, I think unless I decide to make the body a lot thinner I’ll leave the custom bit for now. From memory I think the blank I’ve ordered is a...

@rocknroller912 Where as this is quite small and also not very good quality 🤔 To be fair used for its intended purpose it it great though. Would love ...

@rocknroller912 Firstly, you need to understand that what you mean by lathe is likely more capable than what I own, it’s one of these: so there is...

@rocknroller912 I only have tiny hobby wood lathe, no way it would have the torque needed to cut thread in steel. I’d not really considered this. So, ...

@rocknroller912 sounds like a good plan too, I’ve got to get some more tube anyway now as the piece I was using went astray!

I’d never contemplated butchering mine, will investigate later!!
