  1. OK, so it's OK if it only goes through the first pickup? I thought PRS's usually had long necks spanning to the bridge pickup, but I'm not sure.

    PRS has the neck tenon only thru to the rhythm pickup cavity. This was inspired by the 1950s Double Cut Gibson Les Paul Specials. It's okay to do it this way and it works.

    David Thomas McNaught builds his guitars with the neck tenon nearly to the bridge. Both of his pickup cavities are cut into the tenon. His website details this construction.

  2. Hi...new member signing on! Screwed together my first Tele 22 years ago (Stew Mac swamp ash body, Stew Mac rosewood/maple neck), and have put toether three more since then...but I digress...

    Just want to let you know that you can find the scale length from your neck.

    Simply measure the distance from nut to 12th fret, then multiply that answer by 2.

    Also, if your project is an import, you can bet the ranch that every fastener is metric.
