Started shaping the body (cutting down the horns - is that what they're called?) after buying a jigsaw and file. I'm going for a more Jazzmaster shape but not as pointy. The file is very slow - I think it is too fine for getting big chunks off, but will be good for later steps.
I've got a few questions after the mock build.
#1 Neck pocket - Is it ok? - the fit is pretty snug. There isn't really much wiggle but there is a small visible gap. Is this a problem? Is it normal? Will I need to create a shim for this? It's very slim and I don't know how I'd do that.
#2 - String Height / Bone Nut too high?
The strings seem super high. The neck has a very slight convex bend as it should. I haven't adjusted the truss rod. It looks like the bone nut is too tall? Any input on this appreciated...
