Thanks Mark and Bakersdozen, top tips.

No worries.

Here we go...straighten the edges and mark it out.


Fingers crossed...


First 2 edge holes I drilled right through.
Marked out from those on the back where the other 4 should go...
Then drilled them half-way from each side (back and front of guitar).



After the clean up, not too bad for a first go.

back.

When I got the string-through for my first build (STA1-H).
I received 2 of these, so the second one will go on this build.


cheers, Mark.

Your on a role Mark, that’s looking pretty good mate.

Thanks. I hope my exploits are a bit of a help when you tackle you're own project.

One more shot

It's got the strings on. No electrics as yet.
Switch and jack never showed up (despite the promise) so I'll need to solder up the kit one if I don't want to wait until next week.


cheers, Mark

That’s looking really good now, such a downer when stuff doesn’t turn up on time.
Are you watching your items to be delivered on a tracker?

I get notifications that 'your parcel is coming today' but not on a lot of small stuff.

On a positive note though, I wired up the electrics and find that intonation wise it's all good.
Phew! Re-locating the bridge after drilling the string-through holes would have been a nightmare.

Neck required further fret dressing and I filed the bottom of the nut down.
Should be ready to tackle the finishing stage.

cheers, Mark.

Great to know you can progress to finishing knowing that your fit is solid and I surprises to follow

It sure it Bakersdozen.
There aint gonna be much to the finishing of this guitar, but knowing that it's already a decent player before re-assembly is a bonus.


Then I can get some vaccuuming done.

cheers, Mark.
