Nah, they all carry tablets or smart phones instead.

good stuff Ponch that is looking very nice with the mini mock build. On the home stretch now mate !
lookin so fine!
Nice top Ponch. Is that a veneer or Basswood? Looks pretty flash if it is Basswood.
It's supposed to be 100% basswood ply (Adam has asked the question of the factory and that was their reply), though I have my doubts. It looks more like a birch layer to me (if it's not maple). It also feels tougher than basswood. It's probably a thicker layer than the standard PBG veneers, but maybe only 1mm thick, so it's still possible to sand through. But being a ply I think the glue used is different to and stronger than the veneer glue, so less danger of it coming loose if you use a water-based stain on it.
@waz - what Simon said. It doesn't look like basswood to me...... and certainly not soft like basswood in any way

Frets levelled & dressed, fretboard lemon oiled.
I had to remove quite a bit of material on some frets but nice and level now .
The truss rod worked a treat just a small 1/8th anticlockwise turn to straighten it out
I also rolled the edges of the fretboard with the shaft of a small screwdriver makes it feel nice in my hand
The body colour also looks a lot lighter and less yellow in real light
