Thanks for the indepth. The nut is 90* to the fret board the 12th fret is 12.45" from the nut the saddle is where I am confused. the saddle slot is cut at an angle. At what point do you measure the location of the saddle? If I use the location of the 1st string the hi E string, then the low 6th...

Thanks Mark.
Keep that thought and now for the correct placement of the bridge I will measure from the 12 fret to to the front slot of the bridge + .10" of an inch and the measurement will be at the front slot of High E?

All of the above. I think kits are a good place to...

Thanks for the comments, The kits I have looked at are on ebay. Basswood body with maple necks. I am sure the hardware is less than desirable. I would like to look at a set of plans. I have made all my tools and jigs for the acoustic guitar builds and I thought I would try a kit for the solid body a...

8-) Just registered, I been reading some of the threads. I have built 2 acoustic guitars and almost finished with the third. I am planning for my next build. I want to build a solid body electric and was thinking of taking on the challenge of a double neck 12/6. I was wondering what problems some of...
