Thought I'd build myself a new guitar. This one uses a Telecaster neck pickup and bass string bridges, with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard.

    Great stuff - they offer a really neat solution to the adjustable bridge conundrum. Pricy, but worth it. Top marks :o)

    Thanks for all the nice comments.  You're correct.  The string spacing ended up at about 16mm to accommodate a neck that is 1 18/32 wide.  I could have spaced the bridges closer if I needed to.  Also, you'll notice that I recessed them for not only a cleaner look, but to avoid raising the fretboard much above the box top.  I like my action set low at about 8/64 at the 17th fret.
