I'll be interested to hear what you think of the Firebuckers once you get it going.
I'm still very happy with mine. Even switching from one of my single coil guitars to the singlecut with the...

For some reason it makes me think of DEVO!

Pretty cool.

I was thinking the same thing! Like from that movie "Predator"!

I think I may have just found a name for your creation!
Looking good.

Where's your forward strap button?

I feel your pain!
Fingers crossed for third time lucky...

The short answers are, no and no.

As long as the bottom of the heel (tenon) is fully seated in the bottom of the pocket and the neck angle is sufficient to get the lowest possible string action,...

I'm presently half-arsed researching. If I find something on par with the Hyundai, I'll pass it on.

Note: there are few I've found with similar specs, but unfamiliar brands and limited reviews so...

I can concur that the mini- or touch-up guns are the way to go for guitar bodies and necks.
Mine is also a .8mm nozzle and there's heaps of flow. Mine came with a 125ml cup, which has been okay, but...

Looking good Grant!

Just the opposite of what I was going through a few weeks ago!
Too cool, or too wet. It's frustrating being a slave to the elements!



Yep. That's how I had to leave mine. Conditions weren't...

+1 on this.

However I prefer using a levelling beam on the frets. My first couple of fret levels I used radius blocks, but tried a 8" levelling beam after that and found I liked it better. I still...

The product page lists it as Ash which, TTBOMK, is likely American Ash aka White Ash. FTR it most definitely is not to be confused with Swamp Ash. The Ash supplied in the PBG kits tend to run quite...

Nice axe!

I've taken a lot tips out of Dan's books and videos. Especially when I first started doing nut work. I see you also follow a similar philosophy with the depth of the string slots. I set...

I like the way you think!
I'm now just living vicariously through others' builds... so carry on!

Cool project Simon.
You always do interesting ones!

I can tell you that the kits do not include string ferrules. You'll need to purchase separately form another supplier. (the PBG ferrules are out of stock)
Also, I'm not sure that is a kit bridge....

You can get a Wilkinson tele bridge with 3 compensated brass saddles and top-load or string-through for $55 from Realparts. (plus $4.95 EXPRESS shipping!) They're excellent and just up the Sunshine...

FWIW, if you want a string-through, you're better of doing it now than down the track IMO.

The challenge of drilling the string holes and then the ferrule holes is compounded if the body has been...

Just going by the photos on the product pages of each, the DJT-1 bridge doesn't appear to be drilled for a string-through.
However, hardware packs included in the kits can vary as, TTBOMK, they are...

Interesting. I just checked my "collection" thinking I'd try that on my lacquered necks, turns out I don't have any anymore!
The acrylic lacquer ones I did have, have been stripped and refinished in...

FWIW, a few years ago I switched to doing all my necks with satin poly. I just prefer the feel more than gloss.
I still have some older builds that have gloss but for whatever reason, they don't...

I don't have the technical knowledge to dispute or defend that. I only know that it was information given to me by someone I respect and does have the technical know-how. I know this is next comment...

Ah yes, I didn't notice it was black hardware, so good call on your part!

I got nothin'...

Other than sorry to hear of the difficulty. It's a headscratcher for sure!

Good to see Simon got you on the right track.

FWIW, I typically don't put any shielding tape in the jack cavities of strats or teles. IMO the benefit is negligible and the chance of having a short...

Thank you :p
