Tru-oiled, rubbing compound after some 0000, machine heads in, and a little model number homage to pitbull on the back of the...
I noticed an angle to my neck when i fitted it as well. It's maybe not as pronounced as yours though. So i laid the guitar flat and measured the fretboard height at the neck pocket and then at nut...
Doh! I just discovered I used the A and B pots the wrong way round...... Oh well I'm an all on volume and tone player anyway......

99% there on the wiring, ran short of connectors to do it all but that can wait.
Time to sand some primer off the body and give that a last coat of primer before top...
And now a little soldering. Rather than solder everything into the body I'm going to use some connectors so i can remove everything easily if need be.
So far the only real challenge I've faced was...

Question, i'm going to tru-oil the neck. I've sanded everything down to 1200grit except the fret board. Should I sand that too?

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it!

Shaping the Headstock. I was very conservative with my cutting, and have been sanding heaps. Still a bit to do, the round end looks a little boxy still. I'm happy so far though.
My main motivation...
Thanks. I was going to set the neck first to figure out where the bridge should go, but after you mention this maybe i should centre line the body, find the bridge location from a loose neck and then...
Hello all. Well finally it arrived! My first build! More than a little nervous.........
I'm keeping it simple with a TL-1HA. I'll probably do a CBS style headstock, but otherwise keep it as simple...
