Hi
I've not long signed up and just received my first kit (ST). For the price, I anticipated a lot of work to get the body into a decent condition before I started.
I must say I am really impressed with the quality straight out of the box though, perhaps not as much work as I was expecting!
Really looking forward to getting this together and have got some ideas on a great custom paint job after hours of YouTube viewing.
Photos to be posted as I go

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments.
First challenge is to get the neck straight so I can check the fret heights. It seems to have a hump at the moment so I'm turning the truss rod anti clockwise in very small steps. The rod seems to be under tension and I'm not seeing much change. I'm planning to leave it a few days and go back and check if anything has moved.
Is this normally a quick process (i.e., you see the profile change as you tighten/loosen) or does it take time to settle?
