First timer with Tele Deluxe build

[Ma77]

Make sure you are careful with the neck screws!! (Depths)
I have 2 of these builds and love them!!
It's looking nice!!

I wil double check short screws go in short holes

 

[rockandroller]

What is the length of the 'short' screws?? I need to get on with assembling my 7/8th strat soon but I only have 'normal length' neck screws in stainless - I have to hurry up and source a short pair...

Probably best to call warmoth. They certainly wouldn't want you damage your neck. I think The Aaron did a video on this.

 

[rjd]

They did...

Damn! Hard to source those locally...
I neglected to consider those in my original order (since I have a pile of 1 3/4 'standard' neck screws on hand...) - regret that now

I've got some coming but want to use an aged silver set I'll try trimming down 2 to the right length with a dremmel ..

I did order the correct neck screws for the contoured heel, this build is on hold until further notice.

 

[rjd]

oh ouch!

 

[scottp]

Oh my, what's going on there?

 

[Ma77]

Oh my, what's going on there?

I broke both bones going to the wrist and splintered the wrist joint. Slipped fishing while camping last week.

Oh man, so sorry to hear that. Hope you have prefect healing and recovery!!

 

[Rick]

ouch! My advice is to to whatever your doctor says and do physical therapy

Probably good advice, I haven’t seen a specialist yet I anxious to see what they say.

 

[Rick]

You gotta see a specialist! And when they say start pt, do it. I'm back to playing the guitar now just fine, but there's woman at work who ignored the pt, and she can't clench her finger, she gets it half and it's too late to fix.

 

[stratamania]

Wish you a good recovery.

Thanks everyone for the good wishes, I was able to find a surgeon to put my wrist back together hopefully recovery is quick

 

[Rick]

Remember when it comes time for the pt you follow instructions.

I will, the surgeon and the PA act like this is very important also, every time I see one of them it’s the first and last thing they say. People not doing there exercises must cause problems

Thanks for the advice
