Hey Guys,

Really, really impressed with some of the builds I’m seeing you put together!

I’m booked in to do a week-long classical guitar building course in the summer, and thought I’d warm up by putting an electric kit together (a telecaster—a red and black one like Wilko Johnson’s, for those of you who are as old as me).

Two quick questions:

1) For positioning the bridge, how do you find the centerline? Do you split the difference down the attached neck and carry on a pencil line through the body?

2) Sanding.

On the Pitbull website it says to start sanding with 120 or 180 grit, and don’t go past 220 grit so there’s still some tooth for the stain.

However, as an experiment, straight out the box I just stroked the body with 2,000 grit (yes, that fine) and already it feels like a newborn’s posterior. If Pitbull says, “sand, sand, and then sand again” what am I missing, because it already feels perfect..?

Thanks and best,

Mark
