Simon B's ES-3 build

[king casey]

That’s exactly what I had to do with my GR-1SF as I set the neck for a floating bridge. Oh, what a job that was!
Don’t forget the gap at the back requires covering in the form of a cap. I hope Simon keeps working on it because I really like my ES-3.

I am assuming it was done BEFORE any glue was introduced.

Well I'll have to shed one guitar from the collection before considering adding to it.

cheers, Mark.

Yes, apart from the cap on the back of the neck. Better to do that after gluing the neck.
...unless your neck shim is perfectly flush with the body, but I still think extending the area of the neck towards the back of the body looks better and is easier to do.
