Hi, we are a father and son team building our first guitar, and have gone for the EX-1E. Just unboxed and starting to make a plan. As you might expect we've got some dumb questions which we need to get out of the way:
1) which pickup goes where? Does the wiring colour (red and yellow) have any relevance? The red one has a thicker mount/bezel than the yellow one, so we are guessing that goes nearer the bridge?
2) What direction do the bridge saddle pieces point? we have three pointing one way and three pointing the other way, which seems a bit odd. And do the screws point towards the neck end or the tail end?
3) We ordered the optional bone nut, but there is already a pre-glued black nut in place on the neck. How do we remove this nut and put in the new one?
4) We are thinking of doing fractal burning on the body, does anyone have any experience or advice on doing this?
