Needed to add a relief for the pup base plate

Drilled a 10mm hole for the wiring, could have just cut a channel for it but this was quicker.

cont.
Did end up moving the lower control plate closer to the bridge which meant there would be one screw with nothing to screw into. Knew there was a reason I changed the profile under the neck pocket, glued the offcut in so the screw had something to grab onto.

The pre-shaped headstock wasn't working for me so had a bit of a mess around with that as well.

And that's where I'm at, still need to round over the body edges and get it ready for paint.

Marc, all you need to do is measure from the fretboard side of the nut to the middle of the 12th fret. That distance is the same from the middle of the 12th fret to the saddles on the bridge. This is consistent for all guitars, regardless of model.Quote:

If so, then you will need to sit the posts for the bridge in temporarily into the pre-drilled holes (don't knock the steel bushes in yet, unscrew the posts from their bushings, wrap tape around the threads of the posts until you get a firm fit into the holes for them) and place the bridge in position.
For more information, go to PitBull's website, at the top of the page you will see the heading Guides, click on that and go to Instruction Manual. On page 8 is a more detailed description and on the next page a link to a video for this process.

Hope that link works and enjoy building your own guitar.
If you're not sure, feel free to ask as many questions as you need.
