Spent an hour or so on sanding. A quick once over all the Mahogany with 120 and then lots of cleaning and checking with 320.

This is a Mahogany base with cut outs to give the hollow body voids, then a shaped Mahogany cap with the typical 0.6mm Maple veneer. The choice of woods for the base is exceptional with the grain disguising very well the joins between the blocks used to make the base. Can't comment on the cap as most of it is hidden between the base and the Maple, however there is considerable glue ooze from between the base and the cap that needs to be addressed. Thankfully there is very little glue spill from between the Maple and the cap.

One thing that is very surprising is how thick the body is at the back of the neck. It seems more like 'bolt on' 3/4" thickness rather than the more typically found 1/4" set neck size. Also as a FYI for those considering this kit there is plenty of meaty solid Mahogany down the middle of the body so should someone was to fit a Bigsby or whatever variation of bridge there is an abundance of solid wood along the string centre line to work with....

I'm suspecting this build will have more of a LP tone than an ES style tone....
