Tabby Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Looks to me like your bridge mounting holes are a bit fooked. I might be terrible wrong, so please forgive my noobnes it just looks that way to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 that side of the bridge isnt a circular cutout like the left hand side, it goes all the way to the end, so you can put the post anywhere along it. i put it there so the post wont foul on the high e saddle when the bar is depressed. i tested it before i did it and it works. it seemed odd to me too but there it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!!METAL MATT!! Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Well that neck looks SEXY BUT Your body routes leave me in a bit of shock did you use templates at all? to tell ya the truth I think that it would be worth it to redo the Body at least Clean up the cavites and all, but thats just me !!METAL MATT!!

hooglebug Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 if you're talking about the trem cavity, it is all straight and clean, just looks funny because of dark patches in the wood near the edges. if you're talking about the others, they look all wonky because the tape isnt right to the edges in some places. they are all straight and clean i promise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Not just the trem, also the Wonkey Pickup cavitys and odd looking neck pocket !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 hmm. must just be the pics because everything is in line. the neck pocket is as tight as can be and the pickups line up perfectly and are straight. like i say, must just be the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooglebug Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 i finally got the pots from germany yesterday (got them from germany cos it was the only place i could find push/push pots) and lo and behold, the push/push pot was broken. either of the other two and i could have got them from anywhere, but now i have to wait for another one to come from germany. not only that, but they now dont have them in stock, so i have to wait god knows how long. and then today, when i came to assemble the neck again (after respraying) i noticed that two of the ball bearings from the roller nut had disappeared. so now i have to get some ball bearings. 85p for a pack of 10, £5 postage. damn it. i bolted the neck to the body for the first time with the body front exposed. i want its babies. uno with strat for size comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurits Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Haven't seen this thread in a while, but this thing looks great. Shame about the suppliers and shipping costs, but in the end what's 5 pounds anyway. Thats some of the craziest control cavity routing I've ever seen.
