Concentric are just two pots on top of each other. It’s not really different than individual pots. What are you trying to do?

I made some progress today. I drilled 2 holes 😅 for 3 way series/single coil/parallel switches. I had already wired the switches but I had to solder 4 wires to each of the Ken Smith humbuckers. The threads weren’t long enough on the switches so I also had to shave some wood off inside the rear...

FYI I’m a noob currently working on my first build. I didn’t have any trouble with tuners they just dropped in (gotoh bass satin finish) but I had to ream all the holes in the body to get the pots to fit. I just used progressively bigger drill bits by hand until the pots fit.

Thanks, yes it’s bird’s eye neck/fret board and headstock. I was happy with the piece I got. It’s got a decent amount of birdseye in it.

I’ve had a little trouble fitting the neck but I made some progress today!

I called they said it was normal and I just need to sand it. One thing I would suggest to first time builders like me is to order the neck and body in the same order. If I had they would have sanded it and done a test fit.

The measurement is where the zero is that old fashioned calipers is a little tough to read I’ve made the same mistake.

Yes you guys are mostly right. I had to sand it quite a bit and the paint drip definitely contributed a lot. I got it to press in but I’m thinking I might sand a bit more tomorrow I’m afraid it’s still a little tight and I don’t want to get a finish crack at the bottom corner. Thanks for the...

After acclimating to the house it’s a little better but it’s still not going to go in.

I just received a finished body I’ve been waiting for for 4+ months. I had already received the neck for this project a couple of months ago. The neck is not fitting in the neck pocket, it’s not even close the heal of the neck seems correct 74mm but the pocket is about 72.5mm. I really didn’t...
