Understanding "Mock Build".

Oh, yeah! The screws... I forgot to mention that I generally throw away the screws that come with the kit. They tend to be pretty low quality. If you break or strip a screw (particularly with a very hard wood body or neck like ash or maple) it can be a huge, messy thing to deal with. So I tend to replace all the screws that come with my kit with stainless steel screws. It's not very expensive, but a big upgrade IMHO.

Good to know..... I hadn't thought of it.

Good to know ..... I hadn't thought of it (but I've had quite a few "snapped screws" over the years).

You should only need to snap or strip the head of one to know you need better ones
