Beginner Question

 Im confused.  I built  my first , using a heel and  and screw/guled it together w/ board inside.   I did this cause I couldnt figure out the thru body style.  Im sure Im missing something obvious.

 

 I saw a vid on here where a guy  added  a 1/4 piece  to the 1x2 to make FB and raise it some from box top.   Wouldnt you still need to cut 1x2 down to compensate for box top??  sorry I cant figure it in my mind.

Im going for a pretty low action,,, cause I havent learned any slide yet and am just using fingers.

Hope this question makes some sense.

Thank You

 Steve

  • I don't think you'd need to do ANYTHING to the 1X2 if you're gluing a 1/4" fingerboard on top. The SADDLE and NUT have to be higher but that's it.
  • Mark,

     

    It's way to complicated for a kid's build, but I'll send it to you anyway.... I normally sell it, but I believe in your work....
