First batch of goodies rocked up today. Probably not enough fret wire... but its cheap and arrives quickly. I only ordered this stuff on Monday. But double action truss rod looks good (I reckon I'll make my own next time based on this), hard tail string through bridge and ferrules.

I also bought a little drill press the other day. I've been concerned about not having enough distance from the post, but it's fine on this body. My next batch of templates is slightly wider, but I think it should still work fine for these builds.

Had a productive meeting with a speciality timber place yesterday.. just waiting on a quote for Qld Maple neck blanks, fingers crossed.
