WOW. Well done! That looks very nice. Great shine as well. You should be really happy with it.
Out of interest, did you use the good kit strings? I have not heard of the tailpiece needing to be filed before!

The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"
Yeah, both the good strings and a new set of daddarios. I think I fixed it though, just had to file inside the tailpiece a little bit to get rid of what I felt like was a sharp corner. Seems fine nowOriginally Posted by Trevor Davies
I had to do a bit of that on the TOM bridge that came with my similar kit. In my case the one of the posts did not quite fit through the hole in the bridge. Easily fixable with a little emery cloth. I have a feeling that they may have gotten a little aggressive with the chroming process at the factory. That might also result in sharp spots. I have also had the occasional threaded part that needed re-tapping even on pretty high quality bridges.
