Community Kit Build (#3)

[HoneyBadgerJM]

I got up early..............Mock build time........



I will re-think building it PBG stock, just because I don't think its right for me and because the ST special doesn't have a pick guard I really need to be certain about the pick-ups and any body modifications from the beginning.

Couple of interesting points......

• The neck pocket is an ok fit, but you can see some overhang from the side - I will need to check the centreline as well
• there is not a lot of play with the length of the wire from the neck pick up - It will do but i wouldn't want to make a mistake
• The pot is a new type - long shaft - here is a comparison with the pot from my TLA-1R kit
• The vintage style string trees have metal spacers rather than the plastic ones you get with the other ST kits
• the tremolo arm has a white plastic end - rather than a black one?
• the back plate is not recessed (which is the same as all other kits - so if i want it recessed ill have to do it myself
• the back plate and control plate are two different plastics - the back plate is matte and the control plate is glossy
• the headstock has the same holes as all other ST and TL models - ie with the slightly wonky hole.

My recent Tele Kit had same problem in the same place regards Tuner holes
