Hey All,
I've started building this kit. The mock build went well and the Wilkinson bridge installed in the correct position. Body is filled and sanded, head stock and neck shaped and finish sanded but I need to install the bone nut. I also need to do some slight adjusting to the pocket walls to allow for some finish tolerance between the neck and the wall. It is currently a slight interference fir which would bind if there was any finish in there. I'm thinking about 0.5mm off each side wall will be enough. The heel has a touch under 1mm clearance from the body as machined from the factory.
I have a question on fret leveling - How far do you go? I've got a couple up around 13th-15th and the odd one around 9th that still have texta on the outer 2-3mm of the top of the fret (just in from the bevel). Do I need to continue to level until it cuts the entire top to a uniform with of cut across the top of the fret? I made sure the neck/board was flat before I started and have been checking the tops with a long straight edge and the rocker. Don't want to over do it! I used a slotted straightedge to ensure the neck was flat and have the Pitbull radiused sanding block with 320grit on it.
I'll have to take some pics and post them up!
