Needs more clamps ?

them aka trem, when autocorrect butts out!

One discussion on pickups - pros & cons of different brands, etc (like on your on-going build discussion) One on bridges - again, pros & con...

I think you'd find quite a market in the UK for someone able to provide decent quality and accurate templates. Not just for bodies/necks but for all...

It's pretty impressive what can be done with the right kit - and the knowledge to be able to use the kit correctly! I have kit envy @darrenking! ...
