    O.k, so a bit of an update. Really wish I had more time to work on this. I've got the neck positioned here so the strings are aligned as closely as possible along the neck with the spacing from...

    The TC pedals are actually pretty good, but I'd personally go for the Rusty Fuzz over the Honey Pot

    There is a tiny bit of wiggle room but the neck sits really tight in the pocket, there is nowhere near enough to allow for enough adjustment to get the strings to align properly, this was the very...

    So, I've finally gotten around to getting a bit more time in on my TLA-1 kit. Got the bridge pickup rout extended, router bit couldn't quite reach the bottom. I'll probably take care of that with a...

    Yeah, I've cleaned that up a little since those original pics to make sure it wasn't that. The heel of the neck definitely gets thinner towards the body end and the treble side. Think perhaps it...

    Possibly, I do have some StewMac shims which I could use too. However, I'm not really keen to have to shim what is essentially a brand new guitar and I'm not really certain about having to work on...

    Yeah, the hole for the pickup is slightly wider in the Wilkinson bridge too. Thinking I might grab another Tonerider for the bridge or possibly an MIM Tele bridge pickup that I know a guy is selling...
