Shim 
Figure 21. Headstock supported with shim.
Note: Drilling the holes deeper than 1⁄2" could result in drilling out through the top of the headstock. Set the correct depth with the depth stop on your drill press.
6.Place the pegboard face up on a level sur- face, and use a dead blow hammer or a dowel in a drill press to drive the six bushings into the tuner mounting holes until they are flush with the headstock (Figure 22).
Figure 22. Installing bushings on headstock.
Note: If you have trouble inserting the bush- ings, turn a drill bit by hand in the top of the hole to ream it just enough to insert the bush- ing.
7.Turn the neck over, insert the tuners into the bushings, and mount them with the 2.1 x 12mm screws.
Wiring Pickups
This guitar comes with a control plate that has most of the components soldered in place. You only need to solder the pickup wires onto the three way switch and volume control. If done incorrectly, the soldering can damage the components. If you are unsure of your skills, do your research, prac- tice on scrap wires, or take it to a professional.
