Transfer punch. Thank you! I will get a set And thanks for the nod on the bridge block thing. That part worked fine. Anyway, after I disassembled that contraption, I strung up the high and low E again and stretched the bridge at the marks. The strings lined up well. Since I have travel with...

So anyway, I made this playable at the E strings and at a reasonable string height, and then I intonated with the strings EXACTLY where I want them on the FB When I had both intonation and string placement right, I used a brad point bit the size of the stud slots to mark my locations The...

Thank you! Very precise!

Howdy!

I am going out attempt to do a version of this bridge placement technique tonight- start at 7 minutes Stay tuned!

Thank you!

Thanks plexi. That does seem to have a slight offset. I wonder where the scale length line falls though

Thanks! Looks straight to me. Correct?

Between the compensation and the grub screw adjustment, why would you need offset? @Hackmaster , if you look at the second pic where the bridge is offset, the strings are not even in the grooves. I bet someone put a compensated bridge on an old guitar that was cut for a smooth bridge on that one

Mates, I need to drill the bushing holes. It seems to me, for a lightning bolt bridge, which is compensated, I should put the center of each bushing at the scale length line without offset. Is this correct? Thanks for any guidance

Thanks Johnny. Yes, this will get a wrap around. I have been advised that a 3 degree neck angle should do the trick. We shall see!!

A fine choice of weaponry!

Just stained and sealed plywood.

Thank you!

So anyway, the neck is in and straight. Whew! That is always a stressful process of lining up the hardware

A strap for every occasion. The mark of a well dressed musician!

This one is coming along. A few setbacks, but nothing of significance in the end. Question: How many knobs? It is routed to fit 4 My first shot a neck pocket angle. I think I got it OK. Time will tell

Wow, that is a story she will laugh at when she is old and grey!! Good one!

That serves as a reminder - I need to start making my own necks!

I figured that I can always shim it if need be. Also, my build is a bolt-on neck, and if I did the angle at the neck heel, the guitar would lose the benefit of an easy neck swap. I certainly see your point though!
