We got given the above as a gift and I am not sure where to start. Should we paint it first after the test build? We have sanded the neck to fit and now not sure where we go from here. I have hopefully attached photos of where we are at. Thank you.

It seems my images are failing to upload - not sure what the problem is here.
resize the picture, should be an options window you can open up on the page where your picture is resize the right hand side box to 1000 then save the picture under a different title.
Thank you. Attached now.
First is to always do a mock build to see if all components are fitting and if you are good to go. Also you need to string up high E and Low E string to see if the neck is aligned properly and also that the scale length is set right for your buildOriginally Posted by willgard

Sorry for the silly question but how do I that? Which strings are high and low E? And how do I know what the guitar looks like completed?
I know nothing about guitars - I am going to have lots of silly questions.
There is also a small gap marked on the photo below where the screw goes. How do I fix this?
1st and 6th strings are high and low E. You need to string us as in below picture
To see if they are equal spaced from ends of fret board. Also scale length is measured from inside of nut to top of saddle. It needs to be perfect for guitar to have proper intonation.

To gather more info on basics as I am also a newbie and I had a lot of similar questions
That gap is normal U can push up the Jack cover a bit up

dont screw it in yet, move the jack into a position where the gaps are not seen and pencil mark the holes. Not sure about the bridge on this model i think as to position to the neck its a pocket pickup so by rights the bridge pocket should be in the correct position. Use a long straight edge to find the center of the neck and measure the scale. There are videos in the "help section? I would advise to review everything before screwing or setting anything.
Thank you. This is very helpful. Another dumb question - how do I get the strings to attach to the top notch things and the bottom thing (I am sure they have names rather than thingys).
