Page 3: Finishing The Body
FINISHING THE BODY AND NECK Although the overall tone and playing characteristics of the instrument will not be affected, a high quality finish is a real source of pride to the builder. Both the neck and body of your Electric Guitar Kit have been sanded and are ready for final sanding and then finishing. - Page 4 CLEAR COAT The clear lacquer topcoat is also available at most auto parts stores. If you have applied a colour coat, it is advisable to select the same brand of clear lacquer to assure compatibility. - The clear coat is applied to the body using the same technique as described for the colour coat.
- Page 5 NECK Before application of finish, the fingerboard should be masked off to prevent finish from adhering to the fretted surface (see Figure 3). A screw can be inserted temporarily in one of the four holes at the heel which will later be used for attaching the neck to the body.
- Page 6 ASSEMBLING THE GUITAR 1. NECK/BODY ATTACHMENT Attach the neck to the body using the four large screws provided. NOTE: The 2 neck screws WILL have to be cut shorter!!! The 2 screws closest to the middle of the guitar. (See figure 4) The neck plate (Part L) acts as a large washer and covers the locator holes on the back of the body.
- Page 7 3. NECK POSITION PICKUP (PART G) The cavity for the neck position humbucking pickup is located on the upper part of the body closest to the neck pocket. As you look into the cavity you will notice that a hole has been drilled that connects the cavity for the neck position pickup to the cavity that will house the bridge position pickup.
- Page 8 7. THE TAILPIECE (PART J) Take a look at the bridge and tailpiece hardware and distinguish the difference between the bridge studs and the tailpiece studs. The tailpiece studs have a much larger set screw. Install the tailpiece first. Separate the tailpiece mounting parts from the threaded bushings.

Page 9: Truss Rod Adjustment
SET UP Put on the strings and tune to pitch. 1. TRUSS ROD ADJUSTMENT The adjustable truss rod in the neck of your Guitar has been shop adjusted and should not require any change. If the neck should develop a dip or hollow spot over time it can be removed by tightening the truss rod adjustment nut that protrudes from the base of the headstock just above the nut. -
