    I don't like using fractions of an inch (apart from 1/2" and 1/4") as I can't mentally picture the size. I find it much easier to mentally picture say 2mm or 3.3mm. I can of course measure fractions of an inch, but when using digital calipers, it's hard work converting back say 0.634"to an appropriate fraction value.

    I just remembered that I've got a spare Butterscotch Telecaster body I bought online from Allen Eden Guitars, so one of next year's guitar build projects is going to be a Butterscotch Telecaster with a maple neck, black scratchplate, Tonerider Hot Classics pickups, Gotoh chrome modern style bridge, and etc, guitar, kind of a modern take on an old 50's classic.
