You need pick-up rings for those humbuckers. They don't screw into the wood ... those bolts you have screw into the sides / edge of the pick-up rings.

There's humbucker routing templates all over...

I cannot play a note ... on any instrument ... and I've completed three builds which my much smarter, and musically-inclined kids love.

I've had a fourth build stagnating for a year or so and when...

I'm happy to go with the prevailing view on this one, but I'm not sure that a chat-free forum is either possible or desirable.

I'll put my hand up as one who throws in some flippant comments from...

Thanks Sebastiaan and Floody.

I saw a site in the UK with great prices on strings and I was going to buy up. I'll check this one out.

:2tsup:

There's been a few of them listed.

I'll keep watching and hopefully jump in on one at the right price.

Where do you get your strings from?

Once you have a few builds ... and kids that like to freshen up their strings fairly regularly ... the cost of strings starts to add up :~

I was watching this one ... plus a few other Hafcos ... even checked the distance from my place to Lapstone on Google.

And then the price started shooting up :~

I'll keep watching it but with 3...

David is my brother ... John is my brother-in-law ... and oldie is pretty close to what my kids call me. Either that or "stop it dad ... you're embarrassing us".
