Haha that's what I was thinking, but then it all made sense.

and a little thing, without which the trussroad just leave you alone (before this I had never seen)
and 10 minutes of the jigsaw
and a small question - what thickness should be a fingerboard?

Aww yeah, this is nice... I love "cheap" builds because you can see some creative solutions to challenging issues.

Looking good so far, man!
Coming together very well. I always love seeing a really really rough piece of wood turn into something great.

Thank you all for your comments. 'm Really pleased that you like. In short - Next piece of work with a tree on the holidays
And by the way is a very unpleasant thing - when I leveled three layers of wood for the neck, greatly narrowed them. So that the width of the body is not the one that was planned earlier. And gluing more pieces of wood already unaesthetic.

waiting for your critique
And by the way one question
:I have a pickup with the same bolt.
How can I attach to the body as the pictures below?
without frames!!

^I think you just have to find some regular wood screws that aren't too thick to slide through the machined thread insert on the EMG "ears". Then you'll need to pre-drill some holes for these screws in your pickup cavity and just screw it down. Ibanez sticks some neoprene-like foam to the back of the pickup so it can be height adjusted a little bit, but the cavity has to be routed to a pretty specific depth.

Looking great!
To install the pickups directly, you need to have some "dowels" or inserts (threaded) on your guitar. I would go with metal. Then you can use the normal pickup screws, and the wood of the guitar wont be affected if you tighten or loosen the screws.
Before you route the pickup cavities, make sure of the depth you want, depending on your bridge and fingerboard height. If you can, meassure this on another guitar... Screw it, I just meassured it on my guitar using a caliper, and I routed mine to 3/4", or around 19mm.
And, use a little bit of foam on the back of the pickup to keep it stable, and so it doesnt hit the wood when you jump around.
Hope that helps.
