After a very long wait due to shipping delays, I finally received my first ever kit. I've done lots of guitar repairs and mods in the past, but never a full build so this should be fun!
My first observation on doing a dry fit is that with the neck, scratch plate (pick guard) and bridge in place, there is significant interference (see pic). I'd appreciate any constructive suggestions. TIA
