    Looks like a guitar to me! I'm very satisfied with the way this turned out, hoping to have a demo video together soon. I wanted to get this put together and see if it played well before considering investing in any upgrades, but after giving it a go, I think it's worthy of a few improvements. Going to start with a set of P-90s, and probably some upgraded tuners. All that's left now is to decide what to build next! Leaning toward either a TLA-1 or TB-4

    I've got one of these ES-3 kits been sitting in the pile for almost 2 years I think. Had too many other projects happening to make a start !
