Place the neck into the neck pocket and ensure it is pushed right up into the back of the
cavity.
Place the black neck plate cushion followed by the chrome neck plate and then loosely
place the 4 screws, but don’t begin tightening these yet.
Next, double check your alignment and begin installing the screws. Install the top left screw
first, followed by the bottom right screw, working diagonally. Once all screws are in place,
tighten and double check the neck alignment.
2. Hardware Installation
Next we’ll install our hardware, the pre-mounted pickguard, tuners, strap buttons, string
trees and floating tremolo bridge.. There are some best practices to follow including drilling
pilot holes and aligning your hardware correctly which we’ll cover in more detail below.
Pilot Holes
Drill pilot holes for all screws used on the body and neck of the guitar.
The small screws used for securing your tuners for example are small, fragile and easily
stripped.
