New Strat Build - Pickup Opinions

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

About 5 years ago I got a tad bit overzealous in reaming out the holes for the tuners , the bit was just over the size of what was already there, needless to say the bit caught and pulled through quite quickly, and snapped off the section of the headstock, yea I was pissed but who could I yell at .
I knew that it would pull it but I still didn’t use enough pressure to prevent it.
Cheers Mitch

Ninja the slight crack in your finish can be stopped from spreading with a couple of drops of super glue. Just use it sparingly.

Thanks Mitch. I was thinking the same thing as I have used it before to fill small chips.
The crack is barely noticeable with the guitar assembled. I think I'll wait to see if there is any widening or spreading before I break out the glue, though I may use it to fill the 2 small chips I put in the rear.

I should probably mention that I ended up going with 0.015uF caps for both tone circuits (neck and bridge) as suggested by Mr Herndon.

Wow, I didn't realize how nice that neck is! Total package!

Thank you RVA. Yes, the neck feels amazing. I love playing roasted maple necks. They feel great.
