After waiting for a month, the bridge finally arrived. New holes drilled and tested
Almost ready for the finishing phase. You can notice the previous holes bleed through the new bridge (previous one was a tad larger). Any tips on occluding those holes?
wood paste can work if you want to keep the natural wood. for a solid color I like to use a nitrocellulose filler :
this thing is gray so it needs to be painted.
I could be wrong, but you might want to check the orientation of that bridge before you fix it in place 
And, I hope the new holes align with that orientation as well!?!
@joergkutter I was about to tell you “i aligned with the old bridge” and then it hit me oh… f*ck. you’re totally right .
Don’t drill anything early in the morning, it got me 4 new reasons to get wood paste
Oh f…
How did I miss that? I looked at it “looks weird” and scrolled past.
Yes. Or worded differently and in more general terms: make sure you take your time, are not in a hurry and not still half asleep or half asleep already.
Bridge over troubled waters. Easy to miss
Photo angle… it takes the 3D perception of a neurosurgeon to get one’s bearings here 
I think @joergkutter is suggesting that you make sure the E and G strings from the bridge traverse the fretboard on the way to the nut in such a way that the strings are where you want them to be (not located off the fretboard on one side and too far in on the other).
Since the first bridge related post. Cough. Cough.
Ah well, that’s the nature of text based communication! 
The faux-SG short scale took a giant leap forward tonight after I finally found a bridge that works and looks half decent.
Still has to be set up, string height adjusted but I plugged it into the amp and it made sounds like it should 
I like this bridge !
It needs a set up as I’ve got a bit of fret buzz on the G string on the first 5 frets@Jamietashi
Thank you @terb 
It was a relatively cheap one off of EBay so a win win really.
@Mac probably just the nut if it’s only the G string, I’m sure when you do the set up you will know exactly whats going on.

Before contacting those guys for a quote… - Baumtischplatten | Atlas Holz AG
Could any of you check - @Jamietashi for example - if the wood they sell there could be viable? They sell it as solid wood for natural looking tables so I figured there should be pieces big enough for a body but I still wanted to ask here before I contact them for a quote.
A friend of mine also gave me the tip to just go to a carpenter in town and ask him where he gets his wood. Maybe will do that on friday.
I just started with the build kit but by now I am actively looking for something that I can use as workshop. Maybe rent a garage or something. The sawdust in my flat isn’t umm… ideal.
