First Timer Build TLA-1R

[Bungee]

Had to use the Dremel to get the guard to fit, and some of the holes are off. What's the best way to fill the holes that are off? They're under the pick guard and will need to be able to be re-drilled. Shall I mix sawdust with wood glue?



A small gap between the fretboard and the scratch plate. Is this normal or do I need to sand down the back of the neck so it is flush?



I think I will get a wilkinson bridge and make it a string through. Thinking about the tone rider vintage pickups too, anyone tried these?

I am going to replace the nut with bone too.

Really looking forward to building this.

Have a look at Mike Brealey pickups, there hand wound in Adelade, great stuff at a reasonable price.
They sound great in my TL1!

Will do. I assume I can get these online? Do you have a link? I will google it otherwise.

I put tonerider vintage pups in my ST-1 with a bone nut, they sound excellent.

Awesome. The toneriders have good reviews. For the price they see like a great choice
