    Hi Graham
    I have done similar kits and the gaps where the neck fits to the body usually need a little finesse, yours is not a bad one.
    Trevor has already posted a very good pic of how to mock up inserting the bridge posts for a TOM (tune o matic) type bridge ( go to #7)

    If you move this to a new thread in the Build Diary section more people will see it and help where needed.

    Thanks Grant yeah I feel pretty how the neck fits now and thanks to Trevor I used clamps to get the bridge posts in today - went really well. Love the orange
    Cheers
