<p>I fully understand James, thanks for responding.</p>
<p>Here are a couple of ideas that may help give you some break angle for the strings at the bridge. Just to so some seeds and give you a lightbulb moment.</p>

<p>Taffy, sorry for taking so long to reply (manic/depression doesn't exactly have a schedule you can set your clock by). The bridge is gonna' have to be down near the bottom of the pan (like... <em>very</em> near the bottom). =) I haven't found what I want to use for a tailpiece yet, and I'm still flip/flopping on how I want to do the bridge, but I did get the top two peg holes cut off so that it's just the lower 4 (with new machine pegs in them). So much nicer than the black plastic ones…</p>

So much nicer than the black plastic ones I removed from it. I also haven't decided whether or not to add a piezo pickup. I'll probably save that for a second attempt later just to see how it sounds. =)</p> Hi James, here's a look at ol…tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2019-05-22:2592684:Comment:33342832019-05-22T07:15:21.409ZTaffy Evanshttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/TaffyEvans
<p>Hi James, here's a look at old neck heaven, I've got enough there to keep me in six stringers for a while. With some, in the past ,I have removed the frets and sawn down each side of the truss rod to make 3-4 string necks.</p>
<p>Your photo may lie, but does that scale length put the bridge right on, or off, the back edge of the body? Probably doesn't, might just the photo angle.…</p>
