Copperhead soloist build

Outstanding work. Looks really good.

I looked at that Wen drill press, Kevin. What a deal for the features it has. Makes my old belt drive Sears & Roebuck look like a clunk. Maybe after a few other things I need first...
 
Thanks TonyFlyingSquirrel :) Final drilling actions, Schaller Strap Lock installation:

Stratamania, after intonation adjustment the bridge saddles are located in these positions. For the lower E-string there is still some adjustment range left, about 2 mm. We need to get the exact stud hole locations from Warmoth before we can be sure, that this LB63-trem will work with the default hole locations of Warmoth CNC-program for Floyd Rose -bridges. Or if somebody, who has Warmoth-routed Floyd Rose-guitar setup, could measure those locations. But just by looking all the pictures of those bodies prepared for Floyd, I'm afraid that those holes are too far away in front :(

I'll leave the 23-fret scalloping for the future, need to take some break from guitar building for a while  :redflag:

What a ride it has been but yes, the end result is exactly what I planned and hoped in the first place  :icon_thumright: It has been a great honor to be a member of this great forum, helpful and skilled people around here  :occasion14:

Very good end result.

Thanks for documenting. And drop in on the forum now and again, you don't need to be actively building anything to stay involved.
