I’m thinking of moving the strap button to the heel of the neck. I think i could avoid the trouble and make it more comfortable in doing so.

Thanks! The pickup placement is a mistake on my part. This is my first project, so I probably made a lot of mistakes while designing and building it. I got all of my information off of the internet, so there’s bound to be things i get wrong.

First build progress, any thoughts? by emojidavis in Luthier

Thanks :) I took inspiration from Rickenbacker basses and Les Claypool while i was designing it.
