Yup. KTM-9 in the shower anytime!!!! I am wheelchair bound and spraying anything upright is a pain. So this is how I do it. Roll in shower makes it easy! That is one of them drum machine stands. I just found an old rotisserie motor from an old grill...Maybe I will integrate it into this design!!! I will be adding an overspray collector soon.

Hey Mike, Not 100% sure I've figure this out yet, I mean your post. What my mind keeps telling me is that number you keep getting is just like a ratio of where the 21st fret is in the scale used. I can't find any way to give it any meaning in terms of this repair, but maybe I'm just not seeing it. I'm tired, so I'm probably missing something important here. But if it is what I think, it really doesn't translate because it remains constant and where you put the heal can be changed in many ways like having an overhang on the fretboard and such, the ratio will remain, but wouldn't be correct. One issue I'd verify before buying here is fretboard overhang, because if the fretboard has an overhang, then the distance to the bridge is going to be shorten even more, making your problem even worse and I think Rick has it the right idea here, you need to get that nut 25.5" inches away from that bridge period and if you just bolted it up now you'd still be short as Rick pointed out, .446 or .45 rounded as Rick said. If you can move up the heal just less than a half inch, then you'd be fine. If anything, maybe you can just fill the neck pocket and reroute it a .446 of an inch shorter, hopefully you'd still be able to use the same holes in the back of the guitar for bolting on the neck. I just wouldn't want to leave a half inch gap at the end of the neck and the neck pocket, but maybe you can just glue in a small half inch piece to the bottom of the pocket to fill it, instead of filling the whole thing. But I think that's the solution you'll have to use to decide, can you move the neck up .446". It may require more surgery than may be worth it or maybe you can find some other solution. Best of luck and keep us posted. Good to see you around Mike, hope all is going well for you in the job. Jason The fret spacing on the neck is fixed at what ever scale it was cut. PERIOD. Fret spacing is a a function of scale length. And, therefore, might not take well to being messed with...

Go man go!!! So many types of guitar amp/settings. No matter how granular!

FYI... This IS an accurate description of Tiger. TIGER I worked for Jerry a few times as an employee of Bill Graham. I was fortunate enough thrice to be close enough to Tiger to be asked to hand 'her' over 'here'. I was quick enough back then to take a gander at the build. So I KNOW! You are doing GREAT work so far... Just not really a Tiger. PEACE BTW...I own the #8 Alembic Tribute!!! Got lucky on a one-time deal!

Nice axe!!! Just what I was thinking about!!! What are the fretboard dimensions? And what bridge did you use? Thanks!

As an undercoat, it is great. Gives the body that extra hardness to protect against dents. Put a coat of KTM-9 or some other clearcoat over it.

I suggest printing it out. The actual URL at the MIMF was dead and I had to hunt it down! I just printed it and downloaded the plan JPEG just incase!!!

MIMF forums...Where? Been searching. Thx Here it is: Popular Mechanics Pin Router Plans

I hope you mean MILLIMETERS. A few CENTIMETERS is an INCH! Your cuts should be no more than 1/8 inch deep at a time for a 1/4 inch bit.

Yep, I guess that's what I'll do too, thanks I clamped the part of the file I wanted to keep in a bench vise and smacked it with a hammer. Nice and clean!

Yes! The distance between the nut and the bridge are ABSOLUTELY critical. THis is what is called the scale length.

What's a replacement drill press table going for these days?

In your original post you said, "Make sure the strings can actually cover the distance they need to! From my high E string on the 6 in line headstock to the ferrule on the back of the guitar is about 2" short of a new string's length. A near miss." Sounds like you were saying that the string was 2" too short. Pix?

Newb stepping in here...Thinking "Out-of-the-Box"... Maybe recess the ferrules on the back bringing them closer to the front. Therefore, requiring less string. PEACE i

This is what I am talking about!!! PEACE i PS...Them in the mail!!! Thx Bro!!!

Looks like he said it was 34" scale. Yah, I read the post twice and overlooked it both time! Please excuse my stupidity! I know...I read it 3 times before I caught it!!! If I was building a bass, I'd grab 'em!!!
