Sooooooo. Made an unhappy discovery this afternoon. Fiddling around I was comparing my fret slots to the Squire neck I have here...and there is a discrepancy. I tried to photograph it but it's hard over the length of the neck. Basically if I line up the nut's the first 7 or so frets are bang on, then they slowly creep nutward towards the higher frets. If I line up with 22 it's perfect up to about fret 7.
I know what's happened.
When I printed out my slotting guide I had to do it in 2 pieces because I only have an a4 printer. Clearly I have messed up when splicing it together.
Doh.
I'm pretty annoyed, but at the same time philosphical. This whole thing is a huge learning exercise.
So I think I'll just steam this one off. I've never done that before, so what better candidate?At least I haven't wasted any fret wire or anything on it and it was only Bunnings timber so the only thing I've lost is time.
Sigh.
