Ah, the old 'truss rod held on by silver painted chewing gum' trick.
Nice body shape outlined there.
Agree. Great shape.

Looking awesome!
Damn coping saws. Fiddly things at the best of times. Plenty of naughty words at that point Frankie?

It's very difficult to tell from the photos, but presumably you've managed to include some angle on the neck so you'll have enough height to fit the wrap-over bridge? It's just that it all looks very flat in the photos.

It all depends on the guitar. With carved top guitars, the height difference along the body can vary significantly compared to a flat-top. You also need to factor in the height of the fretboard above the body. The angle needs to be sufficient to get the strings running over the top of the bridge, taking into account a low action setup which might only have the low E say 1.5mm above the frets at the 12th fret, without the bridge being too low or too high. Fender style bridges are generally lower than Tune-O-Matic styles as the flat Tele/Strat and the height of the fretboard above the body allows for no neck angle being required (or conversely means a lower bridge and no pickup rings are necessary - a Leo Fender cost saver). The body shape of a Les Paul, plus the much higher design of the bridge, means that a neck angle of 3°-5° is required (the actual angle has varied over the years on LPs as construction methods and tolerances varied), though most are around 4°. One reason why the bridge and tailpiece height on them is very adjustable.
From the single pair of mounting holes, you can tell FW is going for a wrapround bridge, which means that it's going to be quite high off the body. so with a (currently) flat top to the guitar, he's going to need a reasonable neck angle.
Ok cool, thanks for the info. I'm working on a design at the moment that will use an LP style bridge and tail piece and was mostly wondering if there was a standard or if it was done to best fit within the bridge height adjustments.

Nice. You've obviously changed your mind since you drew the design on your template.Quote:

Looking great.
It's going to be a shame when FW paints it all black and covers up all that nice woodwork. ;)
Hi Simon, I think I read somewhere recently that Frankie is coming around to natural finishes these days. After all the dramas he had on the black EX-1 not sure he would be up for an encore.Quote:
