Good luck BurnGeorge.. that will be a good kit to practice on as the basswood is very easy to sand and finish. I am working on a PBH-4 kit with an ash body and the grain patterns are a hope and a prayer of getting a good figured one. Mine has three pieces and two of the three look killer but the one in the middle doesn't match that well so I will have to do some work to make it blend well. You won't have that problem with mahogany, basswood but not familiar with mango.. can't wait to see your progress
