    It’s almost like they do this on purpose to make things harder. By the sounds of it you have it well under control.

    It pays to delve into the build diary section on whatever project you are going to have a go at.
    There have been several with issues regarding the 'TL' so I took it as a challenge.

    This is keeping me busy whilst waiting for veneer to finish my JM-1 (build number 2)

    cheers, Mark.

    Decision time.
    The bridge has to move back a small amount to give optimum intonation leeway.
    The limitation of movement is only a couple of mm, due to the front of the rout emerging from under the front of the bridge.
    If I was going for a solid colour there would be the option of filling the front edge.
    As it's initially a wood stain, I'm just doing the mimimum movement required.

    As you can see this means the standard pickguard is aesthetically out of place.
    I'll cobble one up initially from some offcut I have laying around.

    Compromise is reached.
    Any further back and the front of the rout will start showing.
    I reckon there's now plenty of leeway for intonating.
