Hi There Paul D with his first build

[Paul D]

Gidday all,
just collected my first DIY a DM-1S which is I guess in essence a double cutaway with a single pickup, fantastic for my first build me thinks. Kit came with all the parts ( all this goes in there?) and the body and neck look awesome. First thing a see is the neck isn't straight - funny about that, apart from that here comes just a wee bitta sanding. Will post piccies as I go BTW my first time in a forum as such so if I stuuf up lets me know TIA. Paul D.

Here is the link to the project, chose black hardware as the only upgrade.

Hi Paul welcome to the forum, look forward to seeing pics of the kit you scored. When you say the neck isn't straight I presume you mean it has back or forward bow ? That can be straightened with truss rod adjustments but we'll worry about that later

This should work. the P90 should have a bare wire (ground) and a shielded one (hot)
