Hi all,

I just posted this same question on my build diary but thought this might be a better place for it. I have the RC-1 kit. I bought it years ago and after a long hiatus am getting around to actually finishing it off. I did a dry fit to check the scale length and with the neck pushed all the way into the slot (as pictured) i get measurements of about 313mm both ways, which I believe is spot on.

However, the surround for the pickup does not allow for the neck to be pushed all the way in, which then throws out the measurements.

Is it a simple matter of cutting the pickup surround to fit the neck, or am I missing something really obvious? Aside from the scale issue, I think it'd make for a much stronger joint if the neck was able to be seated all the way into the slot.

Cheers
