A first kit for Christmas: JMA-1L

[Simon Barden]

I would raise the two tremolo posts up by a few mm.

Also, make sure that the neck has a slight concave bow in it (like the top picture), and not a convex one (bottom picture).



But you are also not going to get a true picture of how the guitar is set up until you fit all the strings and get the correct tension on the neck. That will add more of a concave curve to the neck and help raise the strings away from the frets.

You should now be at the stage where you can screw the neck on properly rather than clamp it.

After rise the tremolo spots, nobody change ! :/
I don't have the special straightedge and I don't really know how to check the neck without it ! :/

Also,
I'm currently building a kit of JMA-1L and I have the ambition to buy three pickups of Seymour Duncan to replace those of bases:
- SSL-1L
- SSL-1L RW / RP
- TB-59

I sent an email to support Seymour Duncan who told me:

500k volume, but 250k tones, as the volume hits all pickups but the tones only hit middle and neck in standard HSS wiring setup. This will keep the bridge bright and the singles clear!

RWRP middle and regular neck will be the correct combination for all the pickups to play nicely together

I'm looking for potentiometers 250k on the site Musikding but don't know which ones to take,
Can you help me with that to ?
