Now,
trace a curved line for the bridge-pins and then another one nearer
the upper edge of the neck where the holes for the tuning pegs will
he drilled.
In
order to place the tuning pegs in the right place and to avoid too
great a stress on the bridge the angle made by the string going over
the left of the bridge pin, and then to the right of the tuning peg
and around it, must not be too acute. To mark the holes for the tuning
pegs, simply prolong the string lines until they meet the curved lines
for the pegs; 4mm to the right, on the curved line, is correct.
When
all the marking is done on the neck, from the upper string bar from
the workshop and mark the holes for the strings as they appear on
the full size drawing. Make sure they are in a straight line and in
the centre of the Formica strip, and then start the drilling.
