I've been considering having a crack at building my first guitar out of some old lumber, I was just wondering what kinda tolerance do you have on the frets? How much could I fuck it up and it still intonate basically.

Gunna get a book and read up on it first ofcourse.

Use the measures fret from nut, you will get less error.

order the dvd on building a custom guitar from ACD Guitars - A Complete Custom Electric Guitar Build and buy a copy of the book "Making your own Electric guitar" by Melvyn Hiscox (search for it on Amazon). They will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know!

Also there are plenty of web sites to help you. Project guitar, the UK Guitar builders site, etc...
