    Whilst the red looked ok when freshly applied, I found that it just didn’t look right. Too many colours.

    Are you dead set on a usb mic?

    If there’s any chance you might want to upgrade or expand your studio in the future, you might be better off with an interface and an XLR mic if your budget allows....

    Totally leftfield suggestion but is there any reason why not to install a 3.5mm jack (or even an RCA) in the scratchplate then just put an adapter on the end of your TS cable?

    I wouldn’t have thought the cavity would be deep enough for the scratchplate to accommodate a perpendicularly inserted jack? Hence why the traditional strat jack goes in at an angle, unless maybe...

    My current kit (different to yours) didn’t come with a pre-bored hole so I just drilled it myself. If you have a guitar stand, I’d suggest putting the body on that and mark out a hole in a position...

    As far as alignment of pole pieces under strings go, is this good enough? The low E is perfect but the rest wander south a bit (there’s some parallax in this pic). I’m guessing I’d just compensate by...
