Hi Paul, I think the depth is fine but your issue may be by widening the holes you lose some of the support in the timber for the pull on the posts. (Sure I’ve seen this on another build diary). Do...
Thats a cool idea for rotisserie.
thats cool. might have to give that a try.

Took awhile but found the site for the pickup rings. They look great but come with a bit of a price tag ( cheaper than prs genuine...
Struggling to find the time to do any building but did get around to wiring the Tele and finishing the fretwork off as was a bit rough on a couple of the edges. had it strung and playing but the...
Tuners fitted and starting the process of fret levelling and dressing. Wiring done and neck bolted up. Still a bit disappointed with the truss rod alignment on the fretboard but you learn as you go....
So in awe of your painting.
You could continue the theme around the rest of the body and have a clean mahogany neck that doesn’t require matching. Or (from me selfishly wanting to see that thing...
You can clean up your curves if inclined with a sharp chisel using it like a scraper and the sides won’t affect your dropped level if ease right of on the force.
Maybe a little out of the box but you could make a feature that wraps both sides and around that joint with a strips of pearl. Would be obvious but also an "intentional " feature
I had to hide some...
You could when gluing potentially add another clamp to pull that gap into the neck once you have set the first one. Thats how I reduced the gap on mine. You could test if it will work by setting your...
Hi Alexj, Are the raised bits of veneer movable or spongy? If they are could be trapped air as hard to clamp on a curve, and if you put a very small hole in one does it push down?
That looks amazing. With headstock shape you could almost replicate the left Angel wing and paint in detail.
Really nice work
cant wait to see it with hardware that gold really comes up nice.
I use a metal dish scourer ( the scrunched wool style) and if not heavy handed can get most off easily.
I would only light sand as the veneer tops aren’t that thick and the two ES models I have done...
Nice stuff. Been looking to grab a set of blue coloured trons but have to build something to put them in.
Just went back into the build diary and have the info there.
If the same model wraparound the stud size on the one I got was smaller than the kit holes so had to fill with some Dowel and redrill....
Hi Drashkum
I will have a look for you this evening as I have an ES1 and a Duesenberg wraparound for 74mm at home for a project that I have left for awhile.
The Studs for the bridges that come with...
Step drill will do the job without a lot of tear out. Can get some pretty cheap ones around
If you're painting fine to sand and fill smooth.
The no sanding is generally if you're staining as it doesn't take a lot of effort to go through the veneer and ruin the flame/quilt effect.
Judging from the photo your fretboard still around the 10mm thick mark?
If so you have plenty of meat to play with as fretboard is usually down to around 6mm.
I have glued boards with similar gaps...
I think the two models are based on different sg’s I went and checked my Gibson and it has a cover above the pickup surround. So if the guitar can be as Trevor indicated setup for scale length there...
The shorter neck will affect the intonation of the guitar. You could steam with an Iron to remove the neck and there are several vids on YouTube on how to do it. It also will depend on what type of...
Hi rmyers welcome aboard. On the pit bull site there is a guides section and this link is for the wiring diagram list.

A little more progress over last few days. Put a ding in the headstock and couldn’t find a matching filler so used a pendant that the missus donated and inset into headstock. Needs a bit more to tidy...
