Looks cool. Did you do a mockup to work out the string pull through the nut?

No all good. It looks pretty close, just something to be wary of doing custom stuff. Guitars seem so straight forward, but there are a lot of considerations and compromises.
I did re-check after replying and I think all should be ok except maybe the G... I've set the nut so will double check once the glues driedQuote:

It's all a learning experience. It's not like you'll be using a trem or anything so it probably won't matter too much except from a visual point of view.
And yes! I think I will learn alot more then I anticipate during this build. The bridge placement will be the biggest one I thinkQuote:

Getting my timber cut and dressed tomorrow! So keen! I will have a good 2-2 & 1/2 weeks to work on the beast whilst on my uni break. Should get the majority of the build done in that time hopefully [emoji1693]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d759ac68ee.jpg
