    Hey, man. I'm doing a similar build. I've got a quilted top tele, except I'm getting a 30" scale neck.

    Awesome dude! I just found out my wife bought me a all the parts to build another tele for my birthday next week but this kit has a 27.7 Allparts tele neck so I'm keen to see which of the two lengths I prefer on a tele.

    I just got all my parts today and have unboxed it all. The original neck fits like a dream but the 27" is about 2mm too wide to go in the pocket in the body. Seeing as the other neck fits the pocket perfect I'm a bit worried about widening it.
    EDIT ** On Closer inspection with verniers its less than a mm (This is why i need my glasses on!) So a little bit of sanding it'll fit like a dream a reckon. Its heal is actually 1mm taller one side than the other and gives it a noticeable tilt so I will have to do a bit of careful sanding there i think too. **

    I'll start a thread asking some advice haha.

    Thanks for making me feel welcome guys. I will start a build diary tomorrow

    Oh, yeah. The veneers are only .06mm thick according to the Pit Bull site.
