Assembly
Superglue the parts of the body together. The bridge can be screwed into the holder with the m3 screws.
To attach the neck to the body, there is a puzzle piece shaped connector. This may require a lot of sanding, and when that is done, insert the bottom neck piece into place.
Insert the metal tubes into the bottom neck piece, and slide on the top neck piece while putting super glue in between them.
Insert more metal tubes, and slide on the head while putting super glue in between the neck and head.
Attach the tuners into the holes in the head with superglue.
