    Which bridge to pair with nut?

    I am confident you are ovethinking this. The string spread at the bridge matters a lot more than the nut for the space on the fretboard and a narrower nut will give you more space on the upper frets. Consider this, Vintage Strats are 57mm at the bridge and there are millions of that spec out...

    Nuno talks about Warmoth

    It looks like an OG Dinky Strat which is just a strat outline with 1/4" removed all the way around. Sometimes called a "Short Horn" dinky. Think the original DeMartini Snake Sigs. Its basically the same as an Anderson ProAm or Suhr Standard.

    REAR ROUTE JAZZMASTER. One piece black korina with rosewood top 🤤

    This is a rabbit hole I would not go down. The back cavity being large will not give it a chambered sound. Its a little larger than other back cavities but I also have a dozen or so Jackson guitars with equally as large back cavities. I would not spend the money to remake this personally.

    PAF in parallel mode or Filtertron

    Filtertrons are big magnet small winds which means the DCR is low. Vintage or Vintage spec ones fall apart under gain. If you like gain at all, then TV jones classics or classic plus is the minimum I would go. They are physically narrower than Humbuckers so the string width they "see" is less...

    Warmoth "W" Truss Rod Cover

    I can only go so small on the size due to the limitations of the printing but yes I could do some words or initials.

    Very low humidity year round

    I lived and worked on guitars in Phoenix AZ for most of my career. Your frets will sprout, meaning the ends will protrude beyond the edge of the fingerboard. And on rare occasion, necks that werent properly dried before construction and shipping can twist. Warmoth, as far as I know, has a pretty...

    Warmoth "W" Truss Rod Cover

    I recently got a tiltback construction neck and wanted to have a simple but still Warmoth truss rod cover. I decided I could easily 3D print one up. I designed one that uses a single screw hole because I prefer that for having easier access to remove it for adjustments with the strings on the...

    GAS Alert!!!!

    Since the satin that warmoth uses is nitro, you can easily polish it to a gloss

    Extremely Tight Pocket

    I work in furniture in the US and the tolerance on cut parts in the frame is low like .5mm with a tolerance on the final product being 5 or 6mm Fender designs in a 0.02” clearance in all of their pockets to let the tolerances work.

    Extremely Tight Pocket

    well everything is a tolerance so if you have two pieces on the extremes then you may need to sand a little. a painted body is not likely to swell that much the unfinished neck may swell some but roasted woods are supposed to be way more stable in that regard. I would wait it out if you can for...
