I have a Ply body and a Mahogany body, both use the same bridge......... 18mm centre to centre string spacing 54mm overall.... Cheers! Paul

Looking forward to seeing construction details of the 12 and the 15......great stuff chaps!

Not a hope in hell of me fabricating a sliding pup, I don't have the skills and even if I did, well, Meh!….

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1445372884' post='2891071'] Sounds good. Good luck with it. We will need to see pics of the progress please. [/quote] Consider it done....

Thanks for the replies folks The Coronado body is someone elses unfinished project, bare wood and is only routed for neck and the f holes are done, so its a blank canvas......the neck pocket and the EB-0 neck are the same dimensions so the neck should fit, perhaps with a little fettling, then its a matter of locating the bridge at the EB-0 scale length, which I will measure on the neck donor.....rout for the pickup, drill for the wiring and pots etc and paint, if the poles on the EB-0 pickup are far enough apart to go for the MM position then thats where it will go, if not it will be centred on the 24th fret location as it was on the donor...... I've built several partscaster guitars so am fairly confident its achievable....... Paul

An absolute pleasure to deal with, item was as described, well packaged and arrived when he said it would.... Thanks Geoff!

So I have a project on the go, I have an Epiphone EB-0 neck which I hope to marry up to an unrouted for pickups Coronado body (its in the mail)... I hear all the time about locating a pickup on the sweet spot, between bridge and neck position (?) ala MM....so, on a short 30inch scale, how do I determine where the sweet spot is? Or to put it another way (if the sweet spot is a myth) where should I locate the pup? I intend to recycle the EB-0 parts from the bass that supplied the neck, so Mudbucker/Sidewinder it is! Although I do have a Mustang bridge that I will use.... I may just put it where it is on the EB, unless someone suggests otherwise would be beneficial..... Thanks in anticipation... Paul

TC Hof mini, it reverbs!

Is there enough meat on the headatock to reshape it to one similar to the early P Bass, large Tele headstock shape? Just a thought...... Paul

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1443553099' post='2875782'] I'm lost. Why would you want to? [/quote] I don't, I just wondered if I could....

So today I received in the mail an Epiphone EB-0 which has 2 a side elephant ear tuners, which have sumetrical baseplaes, now I know that if I remove the centre screw from the gear the whole tuner can be taken apart, so if I was to reassemble the tuner key from the opposite side to that from which it came, would the tuner work in reverse? ie a left become right? I guess I'm asking could I make 2 a side from 4 a side, or is it all machined taken right and left hand into account? Am I a total idiot? Cheers! Paul

Fix it! It willl be fun! The headstock split isnt structural, the pin idea sounds good, possibly a dowel?

Thank you folks!
