    Those RC kits can test you as Simon says, although my one is a lot of fun!
    The main issue is the neck angle, it can be too flat, so the bridge doesn't have enough adjustment to take the action low enough to get it correct.

    The standard MM style kit supplied bridge wouldn't help either as they have quite thick & high string saddles.

    So I've made a start...
    Been sanding a lot, 4-5 hours on the body and most scratches are out... end grain concave edges are a sheer delight! Ordered some stain tho!

    How did you adjust/set the neck in position?
    Thanks
