Cheers, Sonic.
It always seems to be ever so slightly out no matter what.
In reflection, I could have moved the bridge southwards a millimeter to achieve the same result.
Anyway. I was using my government sanctioned hermit status to dabble in some recording.
Forgot all about the tremolo until most of the way through the solo section...oh well.
Next time.

Certainly got a nice, bright and twangy sound. Well done.
That's a nice sound you've got there.

Nice do-over Mark!
It may just be the photo, but the string/neck alignment looks like it could go significantly more toward the treble E.
If that's the case, I think it would very nearly centre the string/pole piece alignment also.
Making the world a better place; one guitar at a time...
Thanks guys and for the time spent listening.
Yes McCreed...like I stated in post #37 I think the bridge could move south about a mm ( or 2).
Always seems to be 'just that bit out' whenever I attempt this.
I also should have made a pick-guard out of MDF like previous and then narrow down the adjustments for acrylic.
cheers, Mark.
P.S. a more 'tremolo' friendly tune would also be a better choice.
Sounds great, and I like the selections. Cissy Strut takes me back ;-)
As to the alignment, clearly there is no problem with the sound, and I admire you for trying. Every time I think about aligning those little biddy dots under the strings, I come to the same conclusion...
1st build
2nd build
Current build
...so you're braver than me ;-)
Hey that's cheating!! hehe.
What I would like is a budget to get 'upmarket' pickups happening.
cheers, Mark.
That's given me an idea...

Hi Mark
Just looking at a new Tele build- really enjoyed your build diary why did you change the Pitbull neck? and was it a good choice
Hi Diamondsky. Cheers.Originally Posted by diamondsky
My issues became apparent when I decided to fit a 'Fender' bridge.
I got OCD about getting the scratch plate and bridge fitted aesthetically.
The neck in itself was O.K. but only 21 frets and a few mm too short to get correct proportion with the scratchplate and bridge.
I think you'll see the images on page 9 post #86 in that build diary.
The neck I replaced it with was 22 frets and solved that issue.
cheers, Mark.
