Yes Fretworn. routing for the pickups and neck etc will be challenging. The problem happens when you transition with the router from resin (very hard) to the wood (softer) and the router bit bites in a different way. I will just take it extremely slowly with the small router/trimmer and use a template guide. I will keep all the cable runs in wood which will mean repositioning the switch from the top shoulder to somewhere below the bridge - not sure yet.
Simon. You are right about the studs in resin - cracks are not a good look! I am building the bridge myself so I plan to make it wider than normal and will 'bridge' the resin so the studs will probably go into the wood as well. However, I do have that problem with the strap button and the screws for the pu surrounds.
Do you think I could set those screws in resin or will the screws be able to cut their own thread (with a pilot hole) or should I tap a thread and use small bolts (which I have)??
These are the sorts of issues that I enjoy! Easy would be boring.
Cheers
Ricky
