Hey Shazz and Chaz,. are you guys lubricating the screw? I don't know whats best but I have a candle in my tool kit and ALWAYS give the threads a good waxing before I screw them in. Might help.

Ahh never thought of that! I know with my 2 screws that I had to change out, he heads stripped so I couldn't actually do much with them. Had to get my husband to get them out.

So I know I am yet to finish this build, but I am set on this next!!
LP - maple top in this finish! *froth material* purple to black fade
I am thinking possibly black hardware though!

That should look cool, the next kit I'll be getting is a Tele kit but rather than spray-paint it I'll be doing my first foray into dingotone finishes, how does this sound?, Outback Sunset Dingo Tone finish with a white pearloid scratchplate and gold hardware.

Hi Shazz, a bit sad to hear about your wiring troubles and the guys have already given you plenty of good advice.

For the Purple LP stick with chrome as Black hardware may make things look too dark overall. A bit of contrast can make a world of difference that is why black on light or bright colours looks so good.

Yeah, but I like dark haha. It will be my punk/heavy guitar
Realistically I won't be doing the black as wide, it will be mostly a purple guitar. And will also depend on what purple stains I can get my hands on

Candle or some soap for waxing the screws, i do it to every screw.

Hey ShazzRandom, whatever you do, don't get discouraged by the problems with the wiring, keep persevering and you'll eventually have a win mate.
