WoW Scot, that guy did a real serious build, and with superb crafting skills. That Gretsch is beautiful, I understand why you went for the Gretsch orange. It is gorgeous.
If ours come out half as good they will still be stunning.

I may have forgotten to mention, the pickups I am using are split coils with around 4.5-4.7K Ohm per coil. I do have a set of Seymour Duncan TS-1 trembuckers

Are the holes not aligned or the hs out of whack?
Hi Andrew,
all of the above. as to which set of holes are wrong is subjective. I am going to do the repair based on the high E set of strings, I will plug and drill the low E set. In other words teh High E's won't move they are my refernece point.
The headstock will need 1mm taken off the low E side, and some adjustment at the top left, and bottom right to get it back into symetry.
I expect many hours of teeth nashing, swearing and sweating, not to mention the odd angry beer being consumed. It is going to take a lot of careful work.
Cheers PK

You've got this mate.
Tks Andrew.
A question to the builders almighty.
What is the prefered method of earthing a floating bridge.
Do I drill a tiny hole through the bottom of the timber bridge plate and earth to the bottom of the bridge pin.
OR
Do I drill a small hole through the tailpiece mount/screw hole and earth to the tail piece.

Tailpiece.
Scott.
Tks Scott.
that's probably easier than some of the thoughts I had
ie things such as conductive paint patches etc....
