Thanks, colin2121.
I appreciate your time and expertise.
I am also going to start learning what I will need to learn to start working on the neck: Maple Neck and Rosewood Fretboard.
Can you recommend any good links or give any advice on how to begin preparing and then finishing it?
I am considering trying to do it natural, but with the headstock front the color of the body (probably blue). But I wonder if dye will bleed over?
Though the JMA-1 kit pic on the Pit Bull site shows an uncut headstock, mine came cut. I was a little disappointed, but I will be able to design a logo, anyway.
I think it is going to be a pretty cool guitar, if I don't screw it up.

Thanks again.
