POV: you're me and your kit arrives
Everything went pretty well! Opened the kit and started parsing stuff out (kit was missing a neck plate and neck attaching bolts, but I spoke with my boy Ben and he's getting a set shipped to me already. GREAT customer service at PBG. Seriously)
The kit comes with a pick guard which is not displayed on the IC-1 product page! That's awesome! Because my Nitro finish is definitely gonna get scratched otherwise!
Neck pocket *appeared* very tapered, but some sanding of the sides of the pocket (and veeeeery light sanding of the neck) got the neck to slip in eventually.
Here's a pic of the heel to get the opinion of the community, but it looks alright to me. Bit of space between the bottom of the fretboard and the body (4mm), but there's gonna be some finish, let me know what you think though. Looks to be about 1.5-2mm between the heel and the body
Did a test of string fit which looked okay to me, again, let me know what you think
Tied string to the e and E bridge holes and their corresponding tuners installed in the head.
Let me know if you would like to see any other pics of stuff. I plan on sanding and noodling around until the weekend, when I will attempt THE P A I N T
