PBG-2F build. First guitar kit - here we go

Had my PBG-2F kit for a little while, was thinking about an electric guitar for a while but I thought building my own would create that 'ikea effect' and hopefully port-over to picking it up more often to learn how to play, more often, and thus make more progress. Well, that's the theory anyway!

I really looked the like the G*bson Lucille originally, but when I saw the book matched veneer options available I thought a gloss black finish might be a waste. Consequently, sunburst was on the menu, but I wanted to experiment with mahogony and walnut tones to get someting approximating an oxblood sunburst.

If nothing else it's highlighted all the ways you can tweak and tune an instrument to extract maximum performance out of it, regardless of whether its inexpensive or the price of a small car. I'll throw up a few pictures from time to time and hopefully tap into the brains-trust here in the (likely) event that I come up against some challenges during the build.
