Second Mock Build
I now prefer to do all modifications drilling etc before I start the finish.
Headstocks drilled for PBG standard tuners
humbucker routs widened
Humbucker rings fitted and pickguards fitted as well. As it turns out there was enough room to drill for the neck humbucker rings and I didn't need to fill the control rout gaps. (working man's lunch - its not turkish meal!)
Bolt on neck drilled and attached, straps locks fitted and checked. Note: the neck strap lock on the gibson and Epiphone is usually located behind the necks which cant be done with the PBG kits as the bolt on plate is there - so it needs to be placed between the two necks (carefully so that you don't drill through to the control cavity.
