Thanks for the link. I'll check it out this weekend when we try to place the bridge again. I think patience is going to be the most important factor; we were in a bit of a rush last time we tried to do this.

I've received the Pope Flexcore pre-amp today; fortunately, it was pre-wired. I also got the knobs and ferrules from Carvin the other day, however, they only sent me 5 ferrules. They quickly sent out the sixth one, I'll get it on Monday.

We're taking a trip to Europe (belated honeymoon) after Christmas, so I only have this weekend left this year to work on it. I started with the coping saw on my replacement test neck, and, working backwards, go to the 12th fret before the blade broke. I have spare blades, but they're a pain to install. Hopefully I'll do the fretslot veneer and inlay filling testing before we fly on the 26th.
