My first PBG TLA-1 build

[I’ll give it a go]

Here's a comparison between a Fender bridge and the kit one.

The Fender is mounted as far back as it will go before exposing the under-lying rout.


The holes for the string-through are set further back on the kit bridge.
If you intend to swap out the kit bridge for another (ie. Fender or Wilkinson), the holes are going to be out of place.

On this kit I've found that the neck rout together with the pickup rout are 1 cm further back than a Fender,
but the control cavity is not.
Supplied with a Fender spec. pickguard though, so the bridge will be further south than a genuine Fender.

You either live with the out-of-place bridge, or (like I did) make a new pickguard slightly longer to compensate.

cheers, Mark.

Thanks Mark,

I don’t mind living with it as is actually. Seems ok so far.

Now I’ve got this far would you recommend I clamp the neck up and drill the neck?
