That is just BEAUTIFUL beyond belief! GREAT WORK!!!!

If only they made an SG Special kit, I'd be all over it!

Thank you. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Contact Phil. He might be able to do a custom kit. Doesn't hurt to ask.

Just found out the other day that Phil was nice enough to share my build on his blog and in the gallery on his site. Very cool.

Re: My attempt at a set neck build - Precision SG Jr.

turned out really nice

seeing that it comes with the bridge holes already drilled, how do you adjust for any variance if the neck is not mounted perfectly straight?

Thanks.

With the way the neck pocket and joint are cut/routed, it's so snug that it's impossible to not mount it straight. That was really impressive to see was how snug that joint is.

I did a Jr kit from Precision awhile back. I ended up sanding away the volute though! So is the neck on the SG Jr as thick as the neck was on my LP Jr? I found it a bit thick...

The SG Jr neck is 60's slim. IIRC, the LP Jr neck is 50's style, which is fatter.

No kidding.
