Hey all,
So I've taken delivery of my TLA-1 kit and most of the extras that I want to add to it so I thought it was time to get on here and start my build diary with a bit of an inspection and mock build
On inspecting the neck, there's a bit of a scar on one side of the heel. Looks to me like maybe this was done in the factory by some kind of tool?
Also, it looks like the heel is approx 1mm thicker on the bass side when compared to the treble side
What does the community consensus say? Will these issues be a problem?
Also, gave the neck a rough test fit
Looks like in order to get the scale length right with a decent amount of back and forward adjustment on the saddles as well as to get the bridge to mate up a bit better with the scratch plate, I'm going to have to enlarge the bridge pickup rout and move it towards the neck by about 8mm or so
If anyone out there with a bit more experience could let me know what the think and how I should best proceed, that'd be great.
Cheers,
Dan
