I also noticed that the pickguard is a little off - it doesn't sit around the neck completely straight so i'm going to have to trim a little off the inside.. nothing major, maybe half a mm.

I picked up a little Ozito rotary tool from Bunningtons this morning as recommended by a couple of people here so looking forward to getting that out and giving it a burl this afternoon! Wish me luck!
