What we are starting with....
Quite soon after arrival I started checking the box contents and ensuring I had the right number of screws and bits and pieces, and the bone nut I paid that tiny bit extra for. All was good. Next was a closer examination to ensure there was nil damage during transit. Something that cant be seen in the photo is the two round puncture/crush marks in the box where the volume and tone knobs had tried to exit the box. A check of the two controls confirmed nil damage to the kit parts so I figured I could let that slide.
Neck fit is good into the body. And there are nil dings of significance that sanding will not correct. The electronics person in me feels a little abandoned as there is nil soldering to be done as this kit comes with a fully wired pick guard, 100% completed... lol.
So my job is to give this neck and body a colour and a finish, bolt it together, tune and intonate, and then play.... Simples!
My heart is telling me to try for a burst... my head is saying that a Yellow/Red/Black burst would be a skills challenge...
