Thanks, I've ordered a couple of bone Strat nuts from China from ebay. Risky bit lets see what arrives.
I did a very quick mock build with the stock parts and all lined up OK with a bit of a wiggle, maybe a bit of veneer in the pocket is required but I'll deal with that after the sanding. The bushings for the tuners arrived and solve that problem, they may need a wrap of tape on the shaft to tighten the fit or maybe a bit of epoxy.
Big setback on the knob front though, the Kurokumo knobs arrived (thanks HMRC and Royal Mail for the additional 14 pounds customs/handing charge - something I'm going to have to get used to and budget for in future). These are lovely but don't fit the kit pots so I ordered a pair of 24 spline 500ohm CTS and they don't fit either!! What to do here? I think the spline count is correct, just the shaft diameter is a bit too wide. First thought was to drill the hole and splines out of the knobs which will take the splines off, then pack the shaft with tape? Still plenty of time until I get to that stage, I'm in limbo until the roller bridge arrives and I can do a proper mock build.
