Cheers Waz and Dedman. All advice taken on board, especially re: veneer. Never thought about gun shops for engraving, will look into it. I just came across Duncan Vickers Engraver, not sure I want to know how much that would cost... Guess I'll have to decide on pickups asap.
Since those questions have already been answered, here's round 2 Certainly no rush to answer.
1) what is the best piece of advice for a first time builder?
2) I decided against purchasing a bone nut from PBG as I found them rather cheaper in a variety of other places. I will definitely be swapping it out but just curious if anyone knows the reason for the price difference? Is it unicorn bone?
3) How should the body and neck be stored while working on it and before any sealing? Is there risk of swelling particularly in humid environments?
Edit (more questions):
4) are there any weak components in PBG kits you'd highly recommend swapping out? e.g. Pots etc.
5) Any staining tips with regard to keeping the binding clean?
Certainly no rush to answer.
