wow Steve love the progress looks very nice !
that basswood looks dark, maybe you wiped it down before the pics.
The central cavity looks a bit different shape to mine, I have more square ends, yours are round. The rest looks very similar.
Keep going with the coats, should darken up nicely.
Great looking kit you scored.
How are the necks nice and tight in the cavities ?

Thanks guy's! Yeah wokkaboy, I was actually quite surprised how snug the necks did fit into the cavities. I wasn't expecting much for what I paid for this kit, not sure if I just got lucky or not. But I'm having such a blast building that now my 26 year old son has ordered an FV-1g kit and is doing it Emerald Isles green. Lol! We have 14 guitars between us already but these we will have built ourselves. That's different. I guess we're just Guitarded? Will add more pics as the build progresses. Cheers!

Wow I'm into this, I did one of these in blue for my first build. Keep to watch this thread! Coming along very nicely by the way!
For some things, some times, it's the same time all over the world, and I think we know what time that is...
