I just received my MK-2 kit this morning. All parts are present and correct so I'm about to take my first tentative steps.
I've never done anything like this before so I'm pretty far out of my comfort zone and gonna be taking it slowly. If I end up with a vaguely playable guitar I'll consider it a success!
Be kind!
Upon first inspection, the nut is reeaaallly high. I put a couple of strings on (neck and tuners not screwed) and it was unplayable below the 4th fret. I feel like my options are to either file down the string grooves (which will probably lead to constant string breakages) or take the nut off and file it down from the underside. The problem with the latter technique is I have no idea how to get the thing off without breaking it or indeed how to file it down evenly. If anyone has any tips I'd be massively appreciative!
