    My first build started - ES-3.

    Just introducing myself. I'm another purchaser from the DIY Guitar close down sale. As the ES-3 kit looks pretty much exactly the same as the one sold here, I thought it might be useful to post it here.

    This is my first build and realise I have jumped in the deep end with a hollow body glue in neck, but if it wasn't going to be "purdy" I wouldn't have the same motivation. Body and neck are finished currently and I will be glueing the neck on the weekend. I'll start a build thread with more details and pix on the weekend.
