Drill the neck mounting holes
It's important that these holes are drilled square to the neck, so a drill press works best for this
job. Use a 1/8" bit and drill the holes 11/16" deep. If you don't have access to a drill press, use
a drill guide to keep your hand drill squared up.
Install the neck pickup
Even the most experienced guitar
builder can have difficulty getting the
front pickup sitting correctly and parallel
with the body front. To assist you with
this we have drilled these two pickup
screw holes at the same time as CNC-
machining the neck and pickup pockets.
Take care when installing these screws
and keep them perpendicular and
upright. Applying a small amount of
"Slipstick" to these screws will help with
the task. Set the pickup hieght as shown
before installing the pickguard.
