ADFinlayson Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Hi Fabio, welcome to the forum. I am not an expert and I'm sure more experienced users will chime in. But when I did a build with a kahler trem not that long ago, I Got the neck and fretboard in place (I was doing a neck through) then I routed my trem cavity so that the strings would sit correctly relative to the fretboard. I don't see the principle being any different for a set neck or bolt on guitar. So I would suggest routing your neck pocket so it is correct for your neck, then route your cavities for your trem. You could route the cavity for your trem block first, place the bridge where it should be, then use a straight edge from the neck to the bridge to determine how deep you need to route the trem recess cavity.
