yeah funny you should say that dedman I have a lestrem kicking around in my box of tricks I also have some mounting posts for a les paul hard tail.... hmmmm I did think about it but I do like that...
Agreed Waz, the Rat Rod feel is what really does it for me. Functionally awesome but minimalist finish. If I was the kind to make statements this could be one of them.
glad you like G-Axe
Ok so the Chigsby I ordered is one of these

I was thinking maybe I can add a "block" between the tailpiece and the body to compensate for the asymmetry. It would "stick out" about 10mm on...
Oh fiddly dee!
Thanks for the info Grant. I now know why you ran with a hard tail.
I didn't even think about how I'm dealing with the asymmetry and mounting the trem.
I just checked the...
had a similar intonation issues with mine Mark... Low side was fine but used 20mm bolts on the saddles on the high end instead of the 15mm bolts supplied. That sorted it for me.... If I had to dowl...
Awesome reply Sonic. Thanks heaps for the info.
Did a more accurate measure and as you said it is bang on 628mm with the high e saddle dialed all the way out.
That's 313 from the nut to the...
oOh man you are doing great on this... just started an FS1 myself. Was thinking about how to get that routed headstock vibe. THought about just carving the with chisels and sanding rather than...
I have the exact same problem and was thinking exact same solution...dowl and re-drill ... how'd you go with this?
Yeah man I agree the action on my JS1-A was brutal on the top 3 frets of course I wasnt smart enough to pull the nut out and sand the bottom... I cut deeper on the top... Same result tho plays a...
Just kicking off my second build.

Just did a bit of a test fit and measured up the bridge position.
Am I the only one that feels there seems to be some accuracy issues withe the...
Sounds like you have an earth issue to me. Where the earth wire attaches to the bridge could be the problem. hard to get enough heat to a big chunk of metal to make a good solder connection.
Love...
So it took a fair bit of monkeying around but I got the Jagcaster finished.

Im pretty happy with the result for my first build

a couple of things that challenged me were a...
So I was pretty happy with the finish it turned out pretty much how I imagined and the stain does a good job of hiding the 2 piece body... kinda if you sorta squint a little.

Funny thing King I actually wanted 3 pickups.... I found this wiring mod where you can have any one pickup or any combo of the 3 in series or parallel using 4 dpdt switches. I haven't worked out how...
The thing is Patience is not a virtue I possess in large quantities so I ripped into this build pretty fast.
I gave the body a sand. Probably lighter than I should have and applied the stain.

My first build.
I sold my fender Jag and bought this kit to replace it. I loved that guitar but it was a hard tail and I wanted a trem and a challenge.
