Nice work. I've yet to try a thru-neck build in my own workshop. My last Bailey course build was thru-neck, but that was a long time ago, so I'm no...

Well, that was quick!

Right, that's Christmas done, I can get back into the workshop! Took 3mm off the bottom of the neck pocket, and the underside of the pickup routs (s...

Spent an hour or three sanding today. Before I apply any finish, a quick part-put-together to check things ft where they should. Channel t...

I glued the back-cap on last night, and used a few clamps to prevent a recurrence of the gappy join ... That seemed to work. Had to take the...

I like the curves on that design @nsj - I can't do anything quite like that on this build, but I had something similar in mind. Also really like the...

Spot on @NSJ. I used a standard Tele plan as the core for the CNC design, and the standard plan assumed a standard 4 screws into a neck plate. The ...
