I just remembered a couple of other things worth mentioning :
The first bone nut I tried was really low on the high E side, low enough that I couldn’t clear the first fret, luckily I had a spare, but it’s still really low, the bone ones taper down in height, whereas the stock ones are a uniform height - do people fill the nut slot before adding a new bone?
Also with the new pots I was pretty lucky, I checked the fit before I wired and while it was tight, it all fit. What I didn’t factor in was the wires that go through the body to the jack, they made the fit extremely tight to the point where I had to apply a little pressure to get the jack wires bent right up against the vol pot, I’m not sure if this might cause problems later.
Oh, and finally - does anyone know if the kits come with a spring for the trem arm? I assume they do and I lost it, or is there another way to get the trem arm seated snugly?
