Hi,
Finally got around to starting my rc-1.
First ever build. (Have a Mosie ordered as well).

So far I have only shaped the head and started sanding.
I have read lots and lots of advice and hints etc.. and tried a couple of test fits with the neck and saddle in place.
Which brings me to my query!

Scale length...
I'm a little unsure if I need to cut about 4mm off the heel plate on the neck.

My neck measures 312mm from nut to fret #12, but it's 316mm from fret #12 to the center line of the saddle (at the high E) ... so even further off the mark for the low E.

ie: longer distance from saddle to #12, than from #12 to nut.

Do those measurements sound right, or should I bite the bullet and cut 4mm off the heel plate ?
Has anyone else had to do similar on this or any other kit ?

Trimming a little off would actually make fitting the neck a little easier. I think the wood has swollen slightly since the kit arrived. My fist test fit had the neck slot into place without too much jiggling, and just a little play. Now it's as tight as !

Best regards,
(I'm still sanding ... yeah yeah yeah ..)
