Dimarzio Transition (lukather) Speaking of pickups - they seems to want to lean one way or another. I put foam under them and also a small spring over the screws. Is there a trick to getting them flat?

Ok…so…after quite a timelapse, here are some photos of the completed build:

Either way thats impressive!

Time is in the link, but its around 1:13

Wow....that clears it up 😂

Does anyone know what manner of machine that is in the warmoth tour video on YT - some sort of machine that reads the neck and then cuts the nut. What is it called? Who makes it? Ive seen lots of CNC equipment but never anything like that.

Brave on MacOS. Not set to private mode. Literally every time i come in i have to go thru the reset process.

Contouring done: Question for the think tank - given this veneer: How do we feel about using it as a one piece over the whole top, vs maybe cutting and slipping it to create a more bookmatched illusion? Also, I will be treating it with a solution for flattening and flexibility - how...

Did some shaping today: Took the opportunity to straighten the neck flange where it runs along the butt of the neck. By moving the neck pocket a bit deeper, I encroached on my rear access panel a bit - will have to test but i may have to use a less exxagerated roundover than the prototype...

What would your approach be to carving up that roasted maple a bit? I'm doing the body contours with a flap wheel, but that seems a bit aggressive here. Maybe just use files and clean up with sandpaper?

I have just right at 3" - i slid the template around and could get another 3/16" or so before things get weird - and that would put the body joint right at the 16th fret as is factory.... The sharpie will go bye bye when i shape the heel....
