I got the wiring buttoned up today. Just waiting for a gold truss rod cover to arrive and then I will put the strings on. I am not using the kit strings as they are not labeled and are in a big knot. I also replaced the output jack with a gold one as it was the only silver piece of hardware in the box.

Beautifully finished, love the angular pattern on the headstock it really offsets the length which sometimes looks a bit off with just a bunch of tuners. Nicely done
