    I was actually thinking the same thing. I'm going to be removing some wood for the controls so I might be able to salvage some of it to plug the holes.



    You're of course right. I had thought...

    I get what you're saying. But, if you believe what they say then a glue joint is stronger than wood itself, so surely moving the wood shouldn't be an issue? And I was already looking at thinning that...

    Nut to 12th fret is 341.5, maybe even 341.8 ish. So it's not exactly half the 685mm they have written on the heel. Probably 683.5. So that's a couple of mm less that I'd have to worry about. But...

    Can't believe it's been 3.5 years since I last posted. Almost to the day. What happened? Certainly not much with this kit. It's been sitting in a box unloved.

    Last weekend I open up the box again....

    Yeah I saw that one last week too. No electronics though. Bit of a strange kit without them. I imagine as an acoustic it wouldn't have much volume.

    I'd be interested in a 6 string but a little shorter scale length. Maybe 24"-26". And a hardtail. For body shape I quite like Ibanez / super strat style kits like XB-1, DMF-8, and AIB-1. Or even...

    Wouldn't that just be the STAF-1? Or would you want a true HSS? Most companies (kit and even Fender) I've seen do a HSH route to allow more flexibility.

    I have a Fender Mustang III V2. It doesn't have quite as many features as the new Mustang GT line but it's arguably better sounding. This could partly be due to it having a single Celestion 12" amp...

    Or you could make some sawdust with that excess bit. Mix it with timbermate or glue into a paste.

    I had an itchy finger and almost bought a PRS style kit from them. Somehow I ended up buying an ES-350 style kit from Haze instead.

    Good luck with the build.
