Timmyo's £100 Guitar Challenge. One month and a maximum of £100 to build or upgrade the best instrument you can. What do you do? Monday, March 17, 2008. This is going to be harder than I thought. I've been having a little think. All that routing that needs to be done . . . Drill bridge post holes. Drill control shaft holes. Rout for jack socket on front or side. Rout for control cavity. And that's before we talk about the neck pocket . . . Will you not need to rout a neck pocket also? The body has arrived.
