I will re-think building it PBG stock, just because I don't think its right for me and because the ST special doesn't have a pick guard I really need to be certain about the pick-ups and any body modifications from the beginning.
Couple of interesting points......
- The neck pocket is an ok fit, but you can see some overhang from the side - I will need to check the centreline as well
- there is not a lot of play with the length of the wire from the neck pick up - It will do but i wouldn't want to make a mistake
- The pot is a new type - long shaft - here is a comparison with the pot from my TLA-1R kit
- The vintage style string trees have metal spacers rather than the plastic ones you get with the other ST kits
- the tremolo arm has a white plastic end - rather than a black one?
- the back plate is not recessed (which is the same as all other kits - so if i want it recessed ill have to do it myself
- the back plate and control plate are two different plastics - the back plate is matte and the control plate is glossy
- the headstock has the same holes as all other ST and TL models - ie with the slightly wonky hole.
