Hi all,

A question about pilot holes. No doubt I’m over thinking it..

I drilled the neck mount pilot holes yesterday, a little smaller than the screw shank diameter - also widened the body mount holes as suggested by Simon.

Just wondering if there was guidance from the brains trust about the right size for the pilot holes

I found conflicting info on you tube, some saying the diameter should be the same as the shank, others saying slightly smaller than the shank diameter..

I went slightly smaller as you can always widen the diameter later, but now I’m worried about splitting the neck when I eventually get to screwing it to the body.

Cheers,
J
