Thanks FrankenWashie, weirdly this whole idea started with seeing Kris Drever playing a Godin 5th Avenue with Lau and I was never really able to get it out of my head. I couldn't afford a Godin but when I saw that Pitbull had a kit, well...
I'm still undecided about whether I need a scratch plate for this job though, having chosen to try some wooden knobs and truss rod cover I'm going to need to make it from wood as well. Fortunately that's a decision I can make further along the line.
