    I'm going to take a punt and say you have now spent more on parts than you did for the kit???

    If I'm right, congratulations! Everyone needs to have at least one over-capitalised guitar in their collection!

    Just curious, with that clamping arrangement, how did you confirm the neck alignment?
    Did you check the neck angle before gluing? I don't think the Single Cut kits have been too bad, but there have been numerous "PRS" and "ES" kits that have required shimming.

    LOL, yes you are correct, online shopping is a trap - its a hobby and my wife said OK

    As far as neck align goes, i did a dry set up and measured it all, so I could reset it when glued. I had it set up with the bridge and tailpiece on, low and high e strung, for align. clamped it with 1 clamp, neck angle is a bit low, but feel I will have plenty of adjustment in the bridge, but I really could not see a way to adjust it, the neck pocket is really firm. Overall no adjustment needed. So from there pulled all the bits off applied the glue set it in position and double clamped it, checked measurements and left it alone.

    I am pretty happy with this one, the presious one I did was really loose in the pocket and had to shim it
