    Ben, you mean the bridge plate of the Wilkinson is shorter than the PBG plate ? If so there will be a bigger gap between pickguard and plate so you will definitely need to route the bridge pup a bit more forward.

    Headstock looks great, you don't muck around, did you have to go out and buy a set of files or did you already have them ?

    Yes, the bridge is a good 10mm shorter. I will mock build and measure again.

    And yes, I went and bought a set of second cut files. I thought I may as well, I already have the guitar building bug, will probably get another kit whilst this one is curing in the finishing stages.

    The files worked a treat and great tip from you. This forum is friggin awesome. The help so far, I really appreciate. Makes it more fun knowing help is just a post away.
