My First Build: Which Red Is The Best Red?

[Sonic Mountain]

Very common for them not to be bang on. It's not generally a problem functionally and becomes a lot less noticeable once tuners and strings etc are on.

The fix is to plug them with a bit of dowel and re-drill the holes, which isn't difficult. The repair is hidden under the machine head and washer so you'll never see it.

I'd say it's probably not bad enough for a replacement, but it never hurts to ask the question if you don't feel like you can tackle the fix, although now that you've started finishing on the neck it's probably not an option.

Ahh, I see.

I've sent Adam an email already so we'll see what he says. I'm not confident in fixing it myself but if it's not going to cause me any issues functionally then it should be right. All part of the charm I guess

Cheers, mate.
