Test Fit
Before beginning final assembly or finishing, it is beneficial to test fit all the parts in your kit. You can follow
the final assembly instructions below, except for making solder points. Also, it isn’t necessary to tighten ev-
ery screw. In this step, you just want to learn how the guitar fits together and identify all the pieces included.
Shaping the Headstock
At this point, you’ll want to reshape the headstock if that is something you want to do. Be sure to clamp the
guitar down firmly while cutting a new shape. This is not necessary and is strictly a cosmetic change. Also,
this applies to the guitar body. If you plan on changing the overall shape, this is the best time to do that.
