5. Before putting the case back together, now is a good time to test the functions and check the troubleshooting section down below.
6. Route the cables and close the case. When closing the case make sure no wires are going to be where the screws hit. You may need to trim some plastic near the neck connector to make this easier. The pieces should go together easily and shut with little resistance.
7. Screw the shells together! Here I like to start by only screwing it near the strum bar and frets and give it another test. If everything seems right, go ahead and install the rest of the screws.
8. You’re done! Enjoy the new controller!

5. Remove the 4 center posts on the back shell of the body. They can pretty easily be removed by grabbing them with pliers and breaking them off.

The PH1 screws near the neck connector (green in 1st photo) may be under the fret board at this point, but if you can't get them in that shouldn't affect the shell being solid, they're mostly there for the old connector that was.
8. Reinstall the face plate. After everything is tested and working well, the face plate should be able to be bent enough to get under the neck and into place.

Troubleshooting
Whammy not working/sensitivity is off:
Calibrate with PhunkyTools Guitar Configurator
While I do pre-program, the whammy's travel and dead zones may differ slightly depending on the guitar, so this may be needed after installation
Strum bar not contacting switches/wobbly:
Install 3D printed switch plugs included in kit.
Strum bar getting stuck:
Check the installation of the mainboard. This usually happens when it’s not seated properly.
Buttons not responding in game:
Every kit sent out is fully tested before shipping, so when this happens it's most likely your key bindings. "joy.cpl" or "Game Controllers" can be used in Windows to test function as well. If there is something not working properly, please message me!
Fret buttons sticking when pressed:
For models which include replacement frets, use a file or sandpaper to sand the fret openings in the neck to make a little more clearance. There is sometimes an edge inside from the molding process that sticks out more than normal in some guitars. If sanding does not help, please contact me.
