Agreed, a neat trick and looks very clean. Do you have to have a deeper rout for this method?

No not at all. The plate takes up little room so i cant imagine it would be an issue on any existing rout.

What is the point of a zero fret?

Re: Project fullMap

''allows for better sound balance between the strings and fretted and ensures a perfect string height down the neck''

The wiki has some good info and diagrams to explain it better.

Oh heck ya! Great idea Raphael! I hadn't thought of grinding/filing the threads away at the head of the screw. That's thinking out side the box. You could do the same thing and use threaded inserts in the body as well.

I wasn't going to bother recessing the control cavity plate.i find it really hard making a template that matches the cover.

The failed attempts




Maple cover, Its a good fit but not perfect. I think i will invest i some cavity templates for the next one.
