Back in the beginning I had trouble with the threaded insert for this neck.... It kept popping loose, I really made matters worse over the weekend when I attempted to replace the old one with a new slightly larger insert. The picture says it all. Oh well it really is the journey I have resigned myself to the fact that I need start over.

While I get new material for the next neck, I started working out the details for making the bridge so many processes for one small piece of wood. First I started by making a template in plastic for shaping the bridge.

The next step was to mock up jigs to hold the material for shaping and slotting




The final jig is to line up the holes for the strings.

As I said these are working mock ups if you will for the jigs to make this part. Not only do I have the ability to make the bridge - I have worked out the details to making functional jigs.

Thanks for looking.
