    callaham hardtail saddle height adjustment with tele deluxe body

    Thanks Blue313 - I'm glad I stumbled onto the right path.  I feel a bit silly - when I was measuring relief I wasn't fretting anything.  Is the standard when measuring relief to fret 1 and 12 or 1 and [22/etc]?  I've read both about fretting 1 and 22 on the D string and measuring at 12 and too...

    callaham hardtail saddle height adjustment with tele deluxe body

    BTW, thanks for complimenting the guitar!  It's nothing fancy compared to some of the amazing things people show on this forum but one has to appreciate its simplicity!  With the fralin P-92s it sure is a riot to play!  I'm going to build another with real 70s wide ranges...I just need one...

    callaham hardtail saddle height adjustment with tele deluxe body

    My neck pocket is about 9/16" deep (maybe plus a 64th) and my neck depth at the 16th fret is 15/16" - which one of those sounds too big?  This isn't worth sending anything back for shaving/routing is it?

    callaham hardtail saddle height adjustment with tele deluxe body

    I need to find my feeler set but my relief at the 8th fret is in the neighborhood of 1/16" on the low e.  The angle at the neck pocket appears perfect with a strait edge - like amazingly perfect.  If I run my aluminum ruler from the 12th fret down to the bridge it just looks flawless - it just...

    callaham hardtail saddle height adjustment with tele deluxe body

    This is my first guitar that came in more than one piece.  I wanted a tele deluxe and couldn't find one I liked for less than $2k (and apparently bill nash won't take custom requests anymore).  Anyway, I am virtually there...except it appears that my warmoth vintage modern cbs strat neck...

    Gotoh tuning machine mounting screw snaps - tragedy?

    Yeah - I linked that from my original post.  I'll report on my experience with unscrew-ums® when they arrive.

    Gotoh tuning machine mounting screw snaps - tragedy?

    I just ordered a couple of these unscrew-ums...  The jb-weld would probably stick to the wood...it was more of a twist and less of a snap.  Caution - on the unscrew-ums website when you go to "check out" you can see the billing information of the last person who placed an order.  Beware. ...

    Gotoh tuning machine mounting screw snaps - tragedy?

    I was mounting a set of gotoh vintage tuning machines (purchased from warmoth) onto a brand new warmoth neck - arrived today via UPS, in fact.  The second mounting screw gets just in past the threads and snaps off!  Worst of all, there's virtually nothing to grab onto.  Immediately, every screw...
