I’m going to scrap this project, totally lost interest

Thanks, fender3x. I will give this a go when I'm happy with the neck seated in the neck pocket. I'm still not sure if I should have the fretboard...

If: capo'd at the first and fretted on the 17th frets - I'm going to guesstimate that the bottom of the string is about 0.5 mm. Capo'd at the first...

I noticed that the tuners were vibrating when they were not strung. took a while to figure out where the "fuzzy" sound was coming from. But if the...

Some saddles can cause a buzz - but the barrel saddles shouldn't as they have a string forcing the saddle down at each screw in post. I have only...

I can't determine where the buzz is coming from. Sometines I think it's coming from the bridge. Would a cheap bridge cause a buzz. Do you...

Thanks for the tests! I can get eucalyptus oil here. It's pricey, and seems to be used primarily for fragrance, skin care, and healing powers. I have...

I was thinking that the G measurements might be better due to scale length. The measurements are not vastly different. Looks like the string...

Firstly, thank you for all your suggestions. "That's a bit short. If you are using a sanding beam, it's best for it to sand all the frets at once...

Lemon oil by itself did not remove the residue! :( It made it difficult to see, but I could still feel it. I did not have a scraper! Dikkybee's...

The thing that bothers me about that idea is that you should be able to compensate for higher frets on one side at the bridge since you have six...

Well that's odd. It should be totally flat. Still... even if the roll caused it to be a little higher on one side than the other you should be able...

Stained and clear coated body ( looks a bit swampy again) joined the two aluminium cake tins and added a wooden ring to allow them to sit on the...

Try some eucalyptus oil.

I'm not sure about the vinyl tape residue on the binding. Have you finished the final coats? I have read that olive oil can be used to remove...

Thought about you when this came up in my youtube feed. Bass player sounds amazing on an SX bass ;-)

Yes - that's what I thought TD meant about the neck being flat too. Both of the shorter length necks I've bought seem to have a bit of a "roll" and...

This should be fun to watch ;-)

I think TD meant that the neck is flat where it contacts the body. The fretboard side is radiused, so a little higher in the middle, but the bottom...

Can you do it cheaper than this?: ...

Started stripping it back today so, far so good, marked out the cut hole for the “cone” and “spider” both of which will (I think) be a couple of...

Here's a pic of the two pieces of sheet aluminium I cut for the two halves of the case I'm making for my custom Big Muff build, left is the bottom...

I ended-up buying myself a new FNIRSI 100MHz Dual Trace Digital Oscilloscope/Function Generator, here's a pic of it sitting on top of my other pieces...

Yes, that's the idea.... lower the fretboard so the saddle and nut hight can also be lowered just a bit. The other saddles are pretty much right....

I think that either: lowering the neck (and fretboard), or raising the saddle, will have the same effect. Both will raise the string action along...

Yep, I managed to find a Service manual for the Katana KTN-50/KTN-100 series of amps online after doing some searching on Google, it contains...

It was for all frets. The nut, when the kit arrived, was very high, so I sanded it down a bit (which made a massive change for the better - just...

The back of the neck heel is flat. For the low E buzz: Is it for all frets or just some? Is your neck set to slightly concave? Can you raise...
