So since it looks like I'll be putting my guitar together myself I have a few questions.
1) How can I find out the sizes of the various screws? Warmoth doesn't say what they are (unless I've missed something). Or do I have to take each of the screws to the hardware store and try and figure out what drill bits I need? Or can I just use any bit I've got that's a little smaller than the screw. I've read to use tapered bits and I don't think I have that type.
2) To prevent messing up the finish I read that people use tape like the blue painters tape. Are they drilling right through the tape?
3) Any tips for sanding the inside of the hole in the headstock for the tuners? I tried to put one of the tuners in the the holes and they're too tight. Like what kind number grit should I get?
