2. Mockup and Fit Check (Figure 2.0)
The following steps will ensure that the base,
neck, tuners, pickups, etc. are properly aligned,
wired and that all screw holes have been drilled.
2.1 Fit check the Neck to the Body
Gently insert the Neck into the neck cavity on
the Body –the fit should be snug to ensure
proper alignment when these pieces are glued
during assembly. If the pieces will not fit or are
very tight, lightly sand the neck. If the neck is
loose, please call BYO Guitar to resolve the issue.
The Neck and Body will be glued together in
Section 4, Assembly. Use caution during the Fit
checks as the Neck is not attached to the Body.
