Hi all,

My wife and kids got me a psh-1 kit to build for my birthday. It's my first kit build, but I've refinished/rewired and replaced necks etc previously.

Looks mostly pretty good, few minor issues to resolve with the timber/ binding but should be mostly ok.

Couple of things I'd love some advice on before venturing too far.

Firstly, after test springing the axe up, neck looks straight and snugg in the pocket, but it does look like with the neck snug, the angle of the pocket has the headstock too far forward, meaning the angle of the necks causing action height issues. I've shimmed bolt on guitars before
, but should I look to do something here before looking to glue? I've checked that it's straight before this!

Secondly, the bridge feels pretty ordinary and was looking at the gotoh 510 wraparound for it. Wondering whether I can use the stock kit lugs for the bridge pins to avoid filling and Re drilling?

Perhaps the bridge is lower than the stock and fixes first issue?

Really looking forward to building!
