Thanks Neil and yes Tele Soon :thumsup:

I've been trying to do some research on the neck of Andy Summer's guitar and it looks like it has a heel adjusted truss rod, but still retains the headstock hole but plugged with a walnut blank. Once I have that sorted out I can begin the CAD/CAM for it. I normally use the TDPRI forums for this stuff, but have drawn a blank so far.

BTW - Do you use Fusion 360 now? If I get some time this week, I'll maybe start the CAD/CAM and then I could give you permissions on the project and try out the collaboration side of the software/cloud.

Cheers

Chris

I don't yet but I use Geomagic so I'm sure I'll pick it up quickly enough...I've downloaded it I think, just need to have a play!

Played a Jaguar yesterday in Andertons in Guildford....lovely guitars....my playing didn't do it justice at all...was a bit ashamed really!! Also played a tele...................:eagerness:

Yes the Jaguar is very underrated/overshadowed by the Tele and Strat - probably because the setup can be a bit fiddly and I only caught onto them by chance having ignored them for years.

So long as you didn't play Stairway I'm sure it was all good :-)

Nooooooooooooo.....bonjovi wanted dead or alive, oasis don't look back in anger...by which time the tips of my fingers were hurting as I've not played for months [emoji6]

Almost there (actually the guitars are finished but the video editing is not) - this week its electricals and funnily building a CNC enclosure was helpful, as its all in the grounding with guitars as well:
