- Page 2 Welcome... Hi, and congratulations on purchasing this Solo DIY Guitar Kit! As you know, a great deal of the 'difficult' work on this guitar has already been completed to a very high quality standard. All the cutting, shaping, drilling and fretwork (including fret dressing and fret levelling) has been completed by our technicians, to ensure you will end up with a functional instrument.
- Page 3 What You Need... It would always be advisable to have a complete basic set of tools available, but at the very least we suggest you have the following..1. Sand Paper (180, 240, 320, 400 grits) 2. Flat and needle files for metal 3.

In the case of a raw wood body that has not been sealed at the factory, you would wipe with a damp (warm water) cloth before your final grit.

- Page 8 For the 1st string (the thinnest one) adjust the height using the saddle for that string, so there is a 0.063" - 0.078" gap (1.6 - 2 mm) between the string and the 12fth fret. This should create a gap of about 0.01" - 0.016" (0.25 - 0.4 mm) between the string and the 1st fret (this is a very small gap so you may want to use feeler gauges for this measurement).
- Page 9 the tone control at halfway...plug your guitar into an amplifier and start adjusting the pickup height closer and away from the body while you play each string or strum..you should notice an obvious difference in volume and tone by doing so. Adjust each pickup to where it sounds best.
