    So I spent a fair amount and f time addressing the other issues.
    Firstly, the pup lead through hole for the bridge piezo.


    So I drilled through adjacent or as near as possible to where the spider leg will sit, so that the lead can be run along that leg and not just flop down into the cone.


    To get It through I had to use a long series 1/8” bit but it did the job.



    Then I turned my attention to the lead hole for the neck pup.



    I used an 8mm auger bit for this, thankfully the standard bit was long enough to get all the way through.



    So this also highlighted that I will need to extend the lead, as it won’t reach the control cavity as is.

    I will also have to look at how to connect the piezo, as it has a little stereo jack end, not bare wires, and there is no instruction as to how this should connect or operate with the controls.

    Wow this is very poor for a new kit, to have soo many faults, and it looks so cool, one for me to steer away from. Good luck Franken, if anyone can do it , you can.
