My Kit arrived last week and so far i've done a mock build, everything seems to fit fine and the neck seems to sit nicely. I've measured the scale length and checked that the strings sit where they're meant to. There's a few scuffs and one chip on the back by the neck recess but nothing that will stop play,
I was planning on staining but after seeing how tight the grain is I think i'm going to paint it instead (I avoided a nicer grain wood as i didn't want it too heavy). I'll need to do some research on how to go about that as all of my prep plans centred on staining.
Today the plan is to drill some extra control holes and route out some space to fit the extra pots for the new pickups, then if i gain enough momentum i'll start some sanding.
