I'm only starting to get to the heart of the matter with this FS1L guitar that I've had since January ……. In the meantime I've found a neck with a Gibson-like head that I find better matches the shape of the body of this guitar.
I am at the adjustment of the handle in its housing I still have to sand a little so that the heel goes forward by 25 mm to be placed ‘’ perfectly ’’
During this phase I checked the alignment of the neck with the tailpiece and there must be a problem: by putting a ruler alternately on each side of the neck, the marking towards the tailpiece gives a difference of 4 mm which seems to show that the seat of the neck is offset by approximately 2 mm… apart from re-drilling the tailpiece attachment, is there a more elegant solution?
Before starting the finish which I am thinking of doing with oil, I plan to put a veneer all around the body to hide the differences in appearance due to the assembly of different pieces of wood of the body structure, the first step is to remove a little material between the 2 bindings: the width is 35 mm with a depth of 0.4 to 0.5 mm (the veneer is 0.6 mm thick) again all advices are welcome!
