TL-1L First build

[Sonic Mountain]

Yeah, wait for the Wilkinson to drill holes as they are a bit different to the kit ones. You've picked the common issue with these kits. You can assemble as is and it works fine, but you can also absolutely enlarge the bridge cavity and move the whole thing forward to close up that gap without any dramas, there is enough adjustment on the screws to take it up.

You can see me going through the same process in this first TL build I did

Oh also, I wouldn't be using the center fret markers as any kind of guide. The High and Low E string is the best way to make sure everything is running true.

Hey Sonic.

Good advice. Think I am going to wait. Had to route a bit our for the old fender pickup so hopefully haven't done too much damage using the different bridge plate.

Thanks for link. Beautiful build. Yep exactly what I am going through lol. Hopefully my bridge plate lines up neat as yours.

Also was just thinking. The string i used to line it up is brickies string which is pretty thick, a lot thicker than a high E string so I may have room to move there as well.

Thanks for your help.
