    Tele with Bigsby style bridge build

    Hi all,
    After much messing around, today I starting putting things together. It took a lot longer to do the measurements and make sure everything was centred and stuff. Also it seems this kit's bridge is a too far behind. It might be ok, but I get the feeling I will have to move the saddles as close to the neck as they can go.

    The only thing I replaced is the jack plate because I wasn't too keen on the one that came with the kit.

    One thing to notice is that you have to be very careful when you work with basswood, the wood is really soft. For the small screws I didn't even need to pre-drill the holes.

    Tomorrow I'll start having a bit of fun with the neck, see if I can get a decent shape out of it.
    Thanks
    Christian
