I have recently received my kit and I noticed my neck pocket had a small gap in between the neck and the body (not more than 2mm I would guess) is...

Excellent result. Always look better to me in a different colour scheme to the original Macca version. If not for the diversion bass playing would...

I'm with Sonic. I just do it. 2 minutes work can save extraneous minutes of frustration later.

Its easy to find out with an ohms meter. Put one lean on the ring part of the jack and the other on the strings. If the meter shows close to 0...

Hmmm don’t think I’d rely on that. Having everything properly earthed makes a big difference, the hole is there for the wire, it’s not like it’s a...

* hands Simon a shiny "Tish Boom" and actually....yes

Hi Simon, Thanks for your help and interest. Yes, I collected the kit from my local post office today. Once I saw that it had cleared customs I...

If you are low-budget such as I...a series of straight cuts with a hand saw and a rasp. cheers, Mark

+1 on the coping saw. Jigsaws are convenient and quick, but the blade can wander in the cut. Coping saws, whilst a fair bit of work, will give you...

Hi FrankenWashie, Not sure I can call this a cursed build yet but I am going to take this back down to wood and start to finish again. Guess if it...

Very nice!!!

Fantastic read. Thanks!

You could save-a-da-money and get yourself a cheap coping saw.

So you've reached 'The End' of the build. It was certainly 'getting better' as you were going along and it's 'Come Together' really well. You did it...

Madness, you say?

Not much spare time, so not much progress. I have just traced the headstock shape. I like strat headstocks more than tele ones, so I went with one of...

finished. A couple of marks on the top that I could have avoided had I been thinking straight, but it plays OK so far and sounds really nice through...

Thanks Simon, that’s given me a lot to think about. I only bought the bigsby as I thought it was a cheap trem system as it was $36. Had I realised I...

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Before you decide how to deal with this you need to decide how much work you're willing to do. Sharpie would be...

How do you mean "Under"? The rest of the guitar? The Victory is my first go a building a body and its a flying V rip off, but a bit different. ...
