    Looking nice Gav - but is the neck pup a little Julia (left of centre)? I can't tell if it's loose or if it's parallax that's giving me the "not quite right vibe".

    Haha, no, it's dead straight and dead square....

    I run two 600mm rulers from the neck at 90 degrees to the frets before fixing them to the body. Might just be the light. Also remember that they are recessed at the moment and will only be set once the strings are on!

    The dowel plugs glued into place and then drilled to receive the machine heads. Nut shaped and marked in preparation for the baritone Strings!

    The saddles on the bridge i purchased privately had only the thinnest grove, so these had to be filed to size to (as opposed to only worrying about the nut) ! Double work! Mutter, muttter!

    Looks like it's almost there Gav. Really hanging out to hear those low vibe tones. I love some of the 'surf' tunes done on a baritone. It's going to be so cool.
