  1. You should be okay with that. Using wax is a very good idea. It might be worth deciding if you have confidence in the screws supplied with the kit however. A close visual inspection should tell you if the threads are cut cleanly and the heads are free from deformities that would cause the tooling to slip or the heads to shear off. Often the screws are the weak link in an inexpensive kit. I replaced a lot of mine with stainless steel ones.
  2. The pilot drill size should be no greater than the core size of the screw but as close to it as you can get.
  3. I've done the Pitbull SR kit myself. The IB5. The build thread is here, in case my sig file and links aren't displayed on your device. I made a rebate template, just like you have, but from half inch MDF. I then clamped it to the back of the body at a slight angle and it was flexible enough to follow the body curve to a degree. Luckily it worked well. The specific part about that is here. Try a dry fit first. It might be flexible enough.
  4. Welcome Toby.
  5. Good man! It's one of the reassuring things to see our postie still doing the rounds.
  6. You might find this an interesting read. I don't think for a minute that they are the only ones doing this either. Channel 4 investigation catches Hermes couriers sending customers' 'missing' packages straight to AUCTIONEERS to sell despite being labelled with correct addresses
  7. Welcome Emerico.
  8. Okay, so it's in compression rather than tension but what is it actually bearing against? Is there a shoulder? I mean, you have to access the end of the rod with whatever adjustment tool it requires...
  9. I bet it's great for slap...
  10. Where do you put the battery?
  11. How does the rod exert a force on the neck though? I imagine it to be secured at one end and that the bit you turn acts like tightening a bolt... I've never actually seen the end secured however. Is there a little tee slot or something?
  12. I bet Superman is afraid of that. It's SO green, it's like green Kryptonite. I like everything about it except the headstock.
  13. Absolutely. You'd have to pick the right moovement for the performance.
  14. Welcome Dan.
  15. He knew what he was getting into when he decided to brisket.
  16. Beef air. Now hoof lung dung?
  17. Ahem. Heeheehee That's an extraordinary guitar with the void like that.
  18. Mirrored. I like the extra thickness to it as well. It's subtle but it makes a difference. As long as it doesn't foul your stroke, so to speak.
  19. Welcome John.
