    First time build

    Hi everyone,

    Ive just purchased my first kit, a STA-1HT with black HSH pick guard and bone nut. Couldn't resist upgrading to the locking tuners either so hopefully they are as good as they sound.

    Plans for this build are black body and headstock with white binding but if I'm greeted with a grain pattern that i too good to cover up then I'd really like to try a burst. will have to see what turns up

    As for playing I'm only a novice but can see myself still playing years to come.

    Once the kit gets here i'll start a build thread so i have somewhere for all my questions

    until then, take it easy

    welcome to the forum Ducky, is the kit a variation of the SH-1 ? probably ash body

    or is it a typo supposed to be this (STA-1HT)

    plans sound good. Look forward to seeing the build diary

    Welcome Ducky.

    Plans to add white binding have me intrigued as Strat bodies have curves heading all over the place?

    Cheers, Waz
