    Yeah i'm not to sure i'll be able to do the body but that makes me want to try it even more. Plus I like the idea of the white setting off the details in a sea of black. May have to settle on the pick guard edge to achieve the same effect.

    Got the notification of shipping today so I'm going into overdrive with excitement

    Cheers, Ducky

    At first I thought you were going to do the neck only but that didn't make sense either.

    Probably much easier buying a kit with binding already done.
