Yep. Easier to adjust when glueing if I have a bit of play there.

Neck glued. Fingers crossed. I would hate to have to try and get it off.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...60d8cef8d6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b59580be49.jpg

Nice! Always a scary moment gluing a neck, but it sounds like you've done your due diligence.

I see this real nice build coming together and it makes me want to build an SG even though I have a 2018 SG Faded sitting right beside me.

I'm glad I ordered the black hardware with it. Really suits the sg.

Same: it makes me wonder how Gibson can charge so much for something that at the end of the day looks not much better than something you can make yourself.

P.s. Tomtom I want one!

I have a quick question. Does anyone know where I can get one of the rythm/treble selector switch plates from as I didn't get one with the kit?

In all my building excitement I think I have screwed up royally.
Having already eagerly banged in the inserts for the bridge and tailpiece I now read that I have to insert a wire through to ground the bridge.
Please tell me it is not so.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...66dfc427b1.jpg

It's ok. Managed to remove bushes by putting a short screw into the hole then screwing in the insert to kind of pull them out. Worked great.
Now I can ground the strings.[emoji846]
