Yeah that one should be a no brainer replace. That area of the heel is going to take the load from the screws, string tension, and the anchor end of the truss rod. Doesn’t look great.Originally Posted by TonyH

Phew! I'm glad you didn't take a profile shot.
cheers, Mark.
Oops! I was overconfident then - but I learned something today. Apologies and I hope the replacement goes smooth for you!
Adam reckons the neck will be fine, so I've gone ahead with paint etc.
My impatience waiting for paint to dry got the better of me and there's a few marks. And my lack of experience and over belief in high fill primer is obvious, but it's been a lot of fun.
I started mounting hardware this arvo, and can't wait to keep going.
Is there somewhere I can find the dimensions to mount the bigsby? Or do I need to do a test run with strings to make sure it's not so far back the strings come up short?
