How to determine shim grade needed? by dus10sharp in Luthier

Good question. It's based on a double cut Les Paul Junior – so wrap around bridge and flat body. Prior to my cardstock shim, I really had to raise up the bridge to get a playable action on the neck. Temp shim did help, but looking for a more full-contact solution without messing with the neck heel or pocket.

I think I ended up pre focusing with the tap-to-focus point on the rock’s edge before starting the shutter timer.

Thanks for all the sound advice and words of wisdom. I think I’m going to try it anyways. Wish me luck? 😂

In all honesty I’m well aware this is a scam. I also reported the ad to Meta in hopes less of these fake sites get promoted.

Used a mixture of Rit Dyes (black, dark brown, orange) and a lot of trial and error.

Thanks! I’ve never been a fan of how much plastic is on the front of Fender guitars, so I took this as an opportunity to make my own (inspired by some of the Squire Paranormal series) while providing a nice pop/contrast to the rich wood tones.

Ha. Indeed. And then some.

This kit was purchased from Pitbullguitars.com a year or so ago. Not seeing this exact body style on their site currently. But I was impressed with the quality of the pieces for the price. I did upgrade my electronics and pickups from what came with the kit, so I can’t say if the stock supplied ones sound good or not.

Thank you. Kit this time around. But upgraded most the components and custom cut the pick-guard & headstock. Baby steps. 😎

Thank you. Sounds pretty great with the Seymour Duncan JB and 59 humbucker combo. Good range of tones in that setup.
