ES5V first build

No. You'll need to put some sandpaper (I'd suggest P180 grit) on the top of the guitar by the pickup hole, and rub the cover on it until the base has a curve to it that matches the top. Only sand until the base under the raised part of the cover is curved, not the 'wings'. There is a bit of flex in the plastic so the 'wings' should then sit flat on the guitar once screwed down.

Not knowing anything about these, I just assumed from looking at the un-assembled kit photo that the wings went under the face of the guitar. It comes with a hole routed to the rectangular shape of the pick up implying that the pick up would sit in there. If it just got screwed onto the top of the guitar, why route a hole?
