    The new graphite nut seems very high, at least compared to the strat so i will have to resize it i think.

    Have a look at the plastic one it is replacing as a base reference starting point. There is probably something on the net somewhere about factory settings if you feel you need to go down that path.

    Scratch plate turned out looking really good. Just wondering what you have planned for the 6 holes drilled on the front considering 3 way switch has been relocated as has the output socket?

    I will recheck but i think i already did that and they seemed of similar size but when i ran an e string along it it seems awefully high. ill do some more measurements and get back to you.
    Thanks for the comment on the scratchplate, it turned out better than i thought.
    The far left switch is volume, the next 2 are on-on-on switches for pup separation, the last in row is neck vol, the bottom 2 are tones.

    Yea should do, the mini switches split the rails, and humbucker so you can have them separate or all together.

    I've just measure my very recently purchased MIJ Tokai SG., which is the best setup I've ever had on a new guitar, and I won't be changing it.

    The first fret height is .88mm
    Height of nut at
    Low E 2.35mm
    A - 2.25mm
    D -2.03m
    G - 1.85
    B - 1.77mm
    High E - 1.55mm

    All the above measurements are from fretboard to the top of the nut, they don't include the nut slot depths
