That is stunning! That color on the body is a great compliment to the top and great finish.0.

That looks Awesome Dave! I've been following your build and you've helped me make a decision on my next kit for sure..

That has come up really nice Dave and love the headstock design. Good job!

I just didn't see it while I was working on it, but once I had a good gloss, it jumped out at me. This is by far the best kit I have done, I love it and I would recommend it to anyone. At some point I will go back and put a real inlay on the headstock, to do the fretboard justice, but this will do for now.

Hope to see this in next months GOTM!! Stunning. Well done Dave!

Looks amazing Dave. Love the headstock inlay - a great compliment to the fretboard, and the body has come up a treat. A great job!

cheers,
Gav.

Wow! YOu have to be happy with the looks of that!
Can you please take a detail shot at some time of the edges of the lower pointy bout?
Id just like to see what the finish is like from the factory at that point.

well done Dave that is really looking nice. I've got one of these kits to build but want to clear a few projects first. You have given me ideas for a headstock inlay to compliment the fret markers

Great job Dave!

Here are a couple of close ups, I hope I got the right bit?

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I now have a grin so wide I think my face is going to fall in half! And for anyone thinking of building this kit, I can only recommend it, it's a beauty!
