Slow progress. Drilled the neck this morning before the kids decoded to take over lol https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...12c74ae390.jpgthe https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e15fb023a6.jpg
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.Quote:

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.

Yeah man, great job, this ain't an easy task. I can see practice makes perfect. I practiced mine about 5 times before drilling.
Thanks man. I tried a few methods over the years but once I found this on the tele forum, Ive stuck with itQuote:

Slow going this week. Managed to get the rough headstock shape done today and carved the rear headstock transitions a bit better. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6db6927717.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...98831df14f.jpg
