You could've invented a new alternate tuning that would've revolutionised music as we know it.

@Scott - bolt on may have been more forgiving, but the neck pickup is now 2 mm away from the neck!
@Lawry -. But I think it still has to be in tune to qualify?

Working on the "string through the body" bridge that will really finish this guitar off. Then I can string it up and have a play!
Looking forward to hearing this, Gav! Including the new tuning ;-) . It sort of reminds me of a Red Dwarf episode on Hol Rock. I copied the quote below from the Red Dwarf wkia page
"Hol Rock was a going to be a breakthough for music according to Holly. It involved decimalising the musical scale. Instead of the octave, it was now the decatave and there where two new notes, H and J. He added "wo" and "bo" to the solfeggio scale: "Do Re Mi Fa So La Wo Bo Ti Do."
Holly also confidently predicted that, due to this enlargement of musical scales, triangles would have four sides and pianos would be the length of a zebra crossing. However one down side was that women would have to be banned from playing the cello, unless they did it side saddle or used birthing stirrups."
Some string thru ferrules, as well as a shot of the bridge of the guitar. The ferrules will be inserted in the rear of the guitar once the cavities have been drilled.
nice..

Gav, I can't wait to see this finished. That ash body grain just looks fantastic. Will you be using the holes on the bridge plate as a guide for drilling through the body with a drill press?
@Lawrie - I remember that Red Dwarf episode now that you mention it. I've actually seen a similar suggestion on a photography forum. Someone had trouble with the concept of F-stops on lenses being numbered as F2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8 etc and wanted all of the camera and lens makers to start using the decimal system. It is the digital age after all...
That's looking pretty special Gav
That is exactly correct!/<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from djdubya on January 19, 2014, 20:58
