Pickguard from www.Flattguitar.com master tone Step 1) throw away the strings that came with the kit Step 2) toss out the electronics that came with the kit Step 3) add additional 45 degree angle support screws to the neck and body. Putting these extra screws in before the rest of the neck screws will help the neck seat as tightly as possible into the cavity of the body. Making solid neck to body contact is critical to getting the best resonance and sustain out of your guitar. This is not a necessary step, in fact, it's rare to see this feature even on high end boutique guitars, but let's be honest, this guitar needs all the help it can get so why not? Step 4) straighten the neck and level the frets. To straighten the neck, use the included larger Allen wrench and twist the truss rod a quarter of a turn at a time, checking to see if the entire neck is level with your notched straight edge. Once it's completely straight all the way across the neck, it's time level out the frets. Using a sharpie, lightly mark a line across the top of every fret, then lightly sand back and forth across the whole fret board with your sanding beam setup with 320 grit or finer sandpaper. This will make every fret the exact same height in relation to the fretboard, which will fix the fret buzz and out of tune notes I had, as well as allow me to have a good fast low action on the strings. Keep sanding level across all frets. Once you've touched the sharpie with the sanding beam on every single fret you will finally have completely leveled frets. I also recommend adding a few strips of masking tape at the 12th fret, and sanding all frets above the 12th some more, giving the higher frets a slight taper as you get higher up the neck. This, in my experience, allows for even lower action with a straighter neck. Step 5) crown and polish the frets. Using the fretboard guard, start sanding the sides of each individual fret being careful to not sand the very top part that we already sanded. Start with 320 grit, then Step up to 600, and finish by polishing each fret with steel wool. Step 6) sand the neck and body. Step 7) apply the finish of your choice. Step 8) wire in new electronics. Step 9) assemble all the pieces, and put a good set of strings on. Step 10) give the guitar a full setup. ...continue reading on my blog at https://gunsandguitars.net (disclosure: links in this description may be affiliate links)
