    Now I understand why you are well and truly over kits with binding.

    Well.. At some point of the process i had to accept that a "Custom shop" result maybe is a bit optimistic for a first build I think lack of attention to details might be the reason for some of the issues I've encountered. Now the build is in its 5th week of clearcoat curing. Slow process in this cold climate.. but the wait gave me time to realise that i just have to embrace the blemishes and learn from them.. the guitar will be finished as soon as the clear cures. And straight away be put to good use in gigging. I'm still having fun building, and aim at having fun playing the guitar and I'm pretty shure this won't be my last build

    sounds good Daniel, look forward to seeing it buttoned up and playing ! Don't worry I think everyone makes mistakes on their first build. Next build you do you will have learnt more from the last build and improve each future build.
