Could you please tell a little more about that? I've already got the magnets but haven't yet decided how to remove the control cavity cover of my current build.

The shallow recess that the control plate sits on has a low spot at one end, so when you push the cover down on that end, the other end pops up and you can grab it, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lwguitar Posted June 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 What ADFinlayson said. This picture is from before the magnets were installed. I carved that on with a dremel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lwguitar Posted June 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Make sure and back up your computers! I just lost all of my design work for this guitar when my hard drive went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can work out position of tuners, bridge etc from that. I make it up as I go along most of the time anyway, most fun that way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make it up as I go along most of the time anyway, most fun that way haha, I have a print out of my frets glued to a piece of MDF unfortunately. I can use Fret2Find to print out another fret layout, the big loss was the bridge drawing and the pickup drawing. Hopefully I printed out some of those.

Lwguitar Posted June 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Got the center laminated sanded flat and glued together. The pieces warped a little when the were initially cut so I allowed them to de-stress and settle down before glueing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
