Haha yes I think most flats here look very similar!
Some updates - my black hardware have arrived from China. I already sprayed the neck plate black and finished all the coats. Now I'll have to wait 2 weeks (or maybe 1 if I'm impatient) before assembly. Can't wait!
I've finally come to the end of my guitar build. I'm both sad but happy at the same time. I spent a lot of time and this was my first but great things await the following builds with the skills I picked up along the way.
See the pictures in a video with nice background music here:

holy carp Simon for a first scratch body/neck build you hit it right out of the park. That looks like a build from a professional luthier mate. I am about to check out the youtube vid, sure it plays and sounds great.
And I have to wait 30s between posts!

Thanks wokka! There are some areas where I made some mistakes but these mistakes are meant to be learned from! I was kinda surprised I actually was able to do this. Has been my dream for many years!
It plays and sounds like a dream! Will make a video of the sound soon!
Btw where can I get one of those holy carps?
sure you have learnt heaps Simon. Cool video, I was hoping to see a big shoutout to your famous 'safety boots' hahah
can't wait to hear/see a sound demo

I think this build should inspire other forumites who have built a few kits to attempt a scratchy
