Hey all
My 14 y.o. son and I have just received our TL-1 kit. We're both high on enthusiasm and low on experience. Keen to get going.
This forum has so much good info! And we are a bit confused about a couple of things that I'm hoping we can get some answers to before we go any further.
1. The PDF guide says the neck likely comes with a slightly convex bow, and there's no need to adjust the truss rod now. That seems to be the case with our neck. Yet other advice on the forum suggests the neck should be completely straight before we do the fret levelling. So we are confused as to whether we should try to straighten it or not. We are tempted to go with what the guide says and leave it as is, but it would be good to hear what the experts say here.
2. For the TL-1, should we drill the holes for the components before we start painting, or after it's done? Does it matter?
Any advice appreciated!
Cheers
Digby and Will
