Assembly project (3): The halt

This was an awful start; I spent the whole morning putting this together, almost had everything done then this had to happen. Something was amiss when I had the bridge in the cavity because the block wouldn't line up with the spring claw so one of the whammy springs was in contact with the body instead of traveling straight to the claw. Upon a closer look (depicted above), the cavity was actually slanted. In this case you can see how it's not parallel to the ruler. Bummer. 

This project takes a back seat while I convert it into a fixed bridge model instead.

So far, I have manged to instal the input jack bracket which is a fairly simple affair. He he...
