Hi, I’ve seen blank saddle & bridge kits for ukes, you would literally need to just drill the holes through the bridge yourself. No idea if there ...
@rocknroller912 Thanks, it’s tricky, obviously my aim was perfection so these small things do niggle me but as I think boo pointed out, if I don’t men...
@rocknroller912 Ah ok so you’re just “drilling” round the screw, thanks for the idea!
@rocknroller912 Not these ones, the taper was short and I just used a drill bit that’d have been fine for pine and not much else so I can’t lay all th...
@rocknroller912 I’ll have a look, it does bug me, I’d happily pay the extra 30p on a set of pickups for them to come with quality fixings, as I said t...

@mattbeels Thanks! Yes I’m really pleased with the shape and very proud of the neck. I may end up putting a fair number more top coats on it though sa...
@cheesewhisk someone bought me a set of these after I drilled through on another non guitar project courtesy of slipping flag, use them for any job on...
@irishwhiskeycoke Clearly you’ve not tried their router!
@boo I agree with you but my Aldi band saw has been a cracking little tool for the £60 or whatever I paid for it. Admittedly it was the size that appe...
