I just got the STA-1MHT kit for Christmas, and am excited to begin the process. I have never made a kit before, so I'm hoping this will be a good learning experience. I had a specific question about bridge placement. I tried to measure the scale length of the guitar to find the correct place for the bridge, but was having issues. The pickguard is not wide enough for the entire bridge to fit between it. I'm not sure where I should place the bridge, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
In addition to that, I had a question about wiring. The majority of the wiring is pre-soldered, which is nice, however there are three wires that need to be soldered hang off of the volume pot. I know the yellow one goes to the output jack, and I think one of the ground wires needs to go from the output jack to the bottom on the bridge, but given that this is my first kit I want to make sure I'm certain before I solder anything. Thanks!
