hi andy, thanks for the reply mate.
just read through your build. looking good.
that grain in your ash is amazing. makes the grain i have look boring. haha think i might paint it now...
in regards to the bridge, being the first build i think I'm going to just use what I've got in the kit and try to make it work.
i will probably router the hole forward about 7mm and leave just a smaller gap.
cheers mate
