While I wait for my PB TL-1HA kit poly coats to cure I thought I'd make a start on build #2. This is another tele with a neck and body sourced from the UK.
I did my first mock up today. With the bridge lined up on the predrilled holes the E strings are evenly spaced on neck... so all good.
Next I checked the scale length by using a straight edge to extend each side of the neck down to approximately where the scale length should be and then measured 25.5" from the nut. Sure enough, it was bang on where low E brakes over the compensated saddle - coolio!
One strange thing:
The holes for the bridge are not centred on the neck. I would expect if this was really true I would see wonky strings on neck - but I don't.
I triple checked I'd extended the lines accurately. Perhaps the bridge is not symmetrical - it seems like it is....
Can any one help explain this? Should I be concerned?
