Miscellaneous Parts Preparation:
There are several small parts that need
to be prepared for assembly and can be worked on in no particular order.
1)
Using a tapered reamer slowly remove enough material to make the
machines a press fit. Note:
Backside of the headstock only!!
OR
Using a 3/8” non-brad point drill bit, drill 3/8” deep holes
(DO NOT
DRILL ALL THE WAY THROUGH!)
on the
backside of the
headstock
, following the existing holes.
Note:
Use a drill press to control the depth of cut.
Tip:
Drill a scrap block to determine depth so that machine sits flush
in hole.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
DO NOT DRILL HOLES ALL THE WAY
THROUGH THE FACE OF THE HEADSTOCK.
2)
Truss rod fitting-Make sure the truss rod’s flat surface is face up and
lay just below flush with the top of the neck. The truss rod should fit
without having to jam it in, at the same time, it should not be loose.
3)
Sand bridge-Sand the back of the bridge to remove any machine
marks and clean the surface with acetone (just before glue up) to
remove any oils and create good adhesion for the glue. Break the
edges on the rest of the surfaces.
4)
Sand the Fingerboard-Sand only the back of the fingerboard to
remove any machine marks being careful not to remove any more
material than necessary. Also, sand evenly being careful not to sand a
twist in the fingerboard. Clean this surface with acetone (just before
glue up) to remove any oils and create good adhesion for the glue.
