Santa decided I was a good boy, and that I should order a new kit

I'm on the downhill on my daughter's STA-1M, and my first build was a JBA-4M. So I probably shouldn't do another F-style kit this time (though I do really want that baritone at some stage...).

I'm keen for a new challenge, and also keen for something a bit more "shred". At the moment I'm tossing up between the GPR-1M and the AIB-1Q.

I can't quite figure out the GPR, but I love the offset shape. But that would be a veneer top and binding, AND a set neck, neither of which I have tackled before. Whereas the AIQ is a less intimidating veneer top, and a bolt-on neck.

Any opinions?
