Did another mock up of my lockdown ES-1TL project as I approach assembly as I begin to learn more about this process through experience I re-check everything and discover new thongs each time.
Happy with the overall quality and the dingo tone oils have come up nicely, curing in a Melbourne Winter spring has taken a while though.
The neck and headstock have come up nicely and will attach photos soon.
I have discovered the scale length at 313mm for nut to 12 which is as expected but the 313mm from 12 to the bridge takes me to the very front at the high E and does not allow for any adjustment at the bridge to set intonation.
Photo attached.
I have also attached a photo of the neck heel at the end, is not perfectly square.
Questions are for the brains trust:
Is the length not quite enough and needing adjustment?
Doe this neck being a bit off square matter, would squaring off heel impact anything else (it may raise the fretboard slightly), it may solve by bridge adjustment issue though?
