Spent the recent Bank Holiday Weekend making a start on my third guitar build with Mark Bailey. Arrived late in the afternoon on Saturday, and initially did a bit of planning. Somethings I had already planned, but nothing was totally fixed. I thought I'd make an OM with a Cutaway. The OM fairly rapidly changed slightly to Mark's Bootlegger design which is a little wider than an OM, but there's a big plus in that he obviously has templates, and a shell to build the body in available. I knew that I wanted a 1.75 inch (45mm) Nut. But then he asked what string spacing did I want at the Bridge? Hadn't really thought about it, but after a bit of thought, and checking my Archtop which has 54mm, I've decided on 56mm spacing.
