haha fair enough Guvna, you are doing Coopers proud with your new avatar. I'll check out the JPJ lap steel vid !
EDIT that's an awesome version of When the Levee breaks !

A Manson lap steel. A guitar shop/makers in Exeter UK, where Matt Bellamy from Muse gets his guitars made.

Indeed , watched them both amongst others a number of times last night, JPJ goes allright
Bridge and neck pickups depth? (tele)
am i right to say the neck pup cavity shall be 0.625 inch / 15.85mm deep and the pup screws into the body?
whereas the bridge pup needs to be deeper , say 21.00mm and the pup kinda floats as its screwed to the bridge plate?
also what depth should i cut volume/ tone pots at?
hoping for advice as i have loaned a router for a few days
thanks in advance

looking good Guvna and good to see a few empty beers ! Is the first pic how the red pine looked at the start ?
I routed tele control and pup cavities on Popeye's end grain axe yesterday so I'll measure the depths when I get home from work tonight. The control cavity needs to be deep enough for the pot shafts to fit through with some thread for the nut so there will only be 4-5mm of timber left. Bridge pup will be deeper than the neck pup. I'll post the depths about 7:30pm your time
