I received my kit in the mail on Thursday. Here's the woodwork items.
I specified the JMA body, so I'm assuming that this is ash rather than basswood. I understand from the build blogs that you treat these slightly differently, so let me know if you think it ain't ash! Custom order is drilled for tuneomatic and stop tail, so no rout for whammy / springs. Nice work!
The neck looks nice. I like the headstock profile and the scarf joint is almost invisible. The nut looks to be well prepared. There are some minor irregularities in the positioning of the holes for the machine heads, but nothing to make me want to plug and re-drill here. I doubt I could achieve even this level of precision...
Apparently each post can only include 5 images - so let's move on to the hardware in the next post.
