    Yes I am. That’s the ‘nose’ hole between the eyes.

    I get the headless concept with the string "ferrules" and truss rod access, but I'll be buggered if I can picture now all the pieces fit together.

    Damn you and your drip-feeding!!!

    No, that’s it, Simon. I never said this would be pretty. I’m aiming for resilience in knock around conditions.

    It will be a somewhat standard looking travel guitar, McCreed. Only not as pretty.

    Edit: I might put a cap over it to reduce ‘catch points’.

    Yes, except with a neck humbucker (of course). I’ve brought a soldering station and will copy my wiring diagram for my ES-3 as I will give it a volume and a tone pot. If it works I might even finish that ES-3 one day. Cavities to cut, learn how to solder and learn how to read a wiring diagram.

    I was just thinking that the string holes could be a bit more aligned with the nut and evenly spaced.
