Can you use it to make the creaky door sounds in the middle break of Whole Lotta Love?

That was Bonham's bass pedal....but this was a close second.
OP
So, the block inlay was a step in the right direction...but what about split parallelogram????

Well, truth be told, I was learning on this one and I didn't get the bridge posts in the correct location, so the intonation was never exactly right...

Aw, that intonation stuff is overrated. Lol
OP
He plays mostly open chords, so its intonated for that....

Welcome to the club. I'm on my 5th or 6th scratch build (not all completed!) and I still make mistakes on every guitar. I've (almost!) come to accept it as part of the process.

Checking in at The Ranch...

So many mistakes on that guitar that I need to fix...

I see a few of them too. The First thing I saw was the Volume knob. Next was the stubby Gibson scale length. Then the crooked pup.
And Finally 9's instead of 10's. Will the nut need modifying to accommodate this change?
OP
The volume knob only looks off because of the pickup trim rings.
The Gibson scale is a huge improvement in feel and tone.
The Floyd Rose nut will accept multiple gauges without alterations.
I'll eventually correct a few of these little things, bit the 24.75" scale is a godsend.

Robert Robert Robert,
I for the life of me cannot see how the 24.75 scale length does not feel cramped to you.
Granted I do love my SG's and LP's, BUT I totally feel way more versatile on a Strat with a Strat spec'd neck.
The Knob DOES seem screwy due to the Trim Ring, as you noted by saying you had to raise the knobs up higher
Cool on the Floyd Nut being versatile.

I like the tone of the 24.75" speaking length, because it's less shrill. The string tension is also lighter. But, I also like how the fret spacing is closer together. I've found that for really, really fast phrases, I can be more accurate with less stretching on the Gibson style scale length.
I might alter the volume knob location a little on the next pickguard. I made this one from a blank, but used an old pickguard to find the knob locations.
This was a real learning experience.
