Nope. The pocket was really tight but there is only a little paint coming in the neckpocket so when I use 2k I dont bother.
When using nitro I tape it off for sure becaus it can cause problems later when removing the neck.
Ok, wood on wood for better tone etc.... that discutable

yesterday I plated the last parts. Unfortunately the nicckel platong on the unplated knobs will not work. Plating potmetal is a different process and I have to figure out the right steps..
I had to make some changes on the bridgeplate so I replated that.The surface rust is from the acid dip wich I didnt rine properly so I had to do that again.
The body is attached to the neck and I did some spit&polish
Also made the stringguide, the tunerbushings came out great!

Polished up the tuners and reamed the bushings for a perfect fit.

Today I finished the pickup. And corrected the headstock the tunerholes were not evenly spaced towards the edge. So I sanded 2mm of one side (otherwise it will haunt me)
Installed heightbar and drilled the holes in the ring.
Just for fun I put on every part the cerialnumber
Scratchplate mint or aged white?..... Its gonna be AW
