    Interestingly I recently made a les paul junior (not a kit - from an old door) and went with a string through which I didn't do on my TL-1HA, and although my ferrules are not aligned perfectly I'm not too concerned as it will have no impact other than aesthetics.
    Keen to see yours once finished!
    Thanks RB - I read your diary cover to cover whilst waiting for my kit to be delivered - nice job! Have you done any upgrades to the hardware?

    I've also got some black pup rings as the white one look a bit odd. But I noticed that the pup routes look too big to actually screw them the body. I think in the screw holes will be too close the edge for comfort and in one case I think it misses the body entirely. I do like the look of the rings but without also looks good too.

    Hi mate I actually never fitted the black rings as the pups sat niceley right in the pickguard and I loved that look way better. The rings would be necessary if you needed to raised the pup height, but on this style guitar it's just not necessary.
    I've since sold that guitar, and now make them from scratch just ordering the parts from various places.
    I was going to do a pitbull double cutaway junior but wasn't sold on the body shape. So made my own. Going to make a baretta style next.
