Slow progress. Drilled the neck this morning before the kids decoded to take over lolthe
Unfortunately the rest of the day will likely be spent repairing my air con, but I hope to get the bridge placement done tonight

Bridge placement done. Pickup cavity needs adjusting which I expected.
Next up is the string through holes and rear ferrules
Looking great!
How's the string height / action ?
Pretty good out of the box actually. I don't anticipate needing to shim or alter the neck pocket depth.Originally Posted by Bakersdozen
On to the string ferrules
Drill the top first
Add my table with 4mm pop rivet.. Line the drill up with the centre of the rivet. Body then goes face down and each string through hole drops over the rivet.
Result is perfect ferrules

Cheers mate. I've used this method quite a few times now and never had an issue.

Yeah man, great job, this ain't an easy task. I can see practice makes perfect. I practiced mine about 5 times before drilling.

Slow going this week. Managed to get the rough headstock shape done today and carved the rear headstock transitions a bit better.
Looking sharp mate, good job!Slow going this week. Managed to get the rough headstock shape done today and carved the rear headstock transitions a bit better.
Hey, is that some kind of Dremel router/plunger in the background of your string thru photos? A diy solution?
