So, I haven't gotten round to a diary (sorry, not being obtuse, just haven't made time), but I should mention that the one BIG aim with this was to gain some understanding of the basic mechanics around the construction of a guitar. This is my experiment, and will continue to be my guinea pig for a number of things (including learning to use a floating bridge, swapping pickups, and other DIY ambitions I have. This is why I rushed it a little and why I was not too bothered with fancy finishes - I wanted to retain the wood colour and tone... IT WAS THE MOST FUN I'VE HAD IN YEARS! and I anticipate more to come from this kit alone.

Thank you to all those who offered advice - it helped tremendously! the "finished" product is included here - pre any modifications I might try my hand at.

I call it my "LIEbanez" for obvious reasons It looks a little jaundiced but I absolutely love playing it!Click image for larger version.
