Hey guys
Got my hands on this RD kit and it will be my winter project for this year.
Iīm completely new to guitar building, and I hope I donīt mess this up!
Overall, the kit is fine, some issues with the fretboard (engineered rosewood), micro holes and some handling dent of some sort.
The body looks nice and smooth. I will have a different knob and switch configuration. 2 tone, 1 volume and the selector switch.
I choose all black hardware, for this build. I want to have the guitar alpine white and I think that the black hardware will fit perfect. It was a little bit disappointing to find out that it came with some scratch paint on some of the hardware parts, but I think it can be fixed with some paint and lacquer.
Also, the neck does not seem to fit properly on the body, the fretboard sticks half a centimeter (or more) above the body, not quite sure what to do with it!
The freatboard sticks to far up!
I will try to keep the thread as updated as possible, I still have to order some tools.
Any input or advice is more than welcome, although this is my first build I would like to have a great end result on this project!
