    No probs with discussing non PBG kits here - just best if they're in the non PBG thread so we don't get "I can't find this kit on the site..." type questions. Adam set the forum up as a general forum and wants people to feel free to discuss any builds, scratch, non PBG, PBG, etc.

    With a lighter body, is it even more likely to be neck heavy than a standard FB?

    Do you have to get the electronics in through those F-holes? They seem even narrower than normal ones.

    Yep through the f holes, There actually wider at the middle than the others I've built, the pots fit through quite easy.
    It feels quite well weighted, its a mahogany bogy and neck and doesn't seem neck heavy
