So my Christmas present arrived a few weeks early and everything is looking good. A few minor dings, and a rather unfortunately located knot. Looking forward to the build, I'm sure I'll learn a huge amount.
Only just looked through everything and the first observation is that the neck is an incredibly tight fit. I don't suppose that's too big of an issue as long as everything lines up properly.
Still undecided about what to do with finish. Have to come to some sort of conclusion soon, but I'll get to the test build first, and keep running around in circles trying to decide.
