Frequently Asked Questions

Expect to need basic woodworking tools – screwdrivers, pliers, a soldering iron, and potentially some finishing supplies if you want to customize the finish.
The neck angle will likely need minor adjustment during assembly to ensure proper intonation – this is common with bolt-on necks and requires some careful setup.
The primer layer is suitable for direct painting, but if staining, it’s best to sand it down first for optimal penetration and color consistency.
