    wow love the concept pic there Barge, must be good to be close to building again ! I love the body shape. Not sure I've seen binding on this body shape with the rounded edges and elbow cut. You think you can get binding on the round edges ? I'm sure there's a way, will probably need some reshaping. The flame maple veneer should look the ducks nuts and I like the colour selection.
    I ordered 2 of these kits Sunday and they are being delivered today - top PBG service as usual !

    Tell you what Wokks, the withdrawals had well and truly set in! At least now that all the moving house/renovation crap's out the way I can get back to business, best part of all is I've actually got somewhere to do it now (I just need a band saw)
    Now that you mention it, it kind of appears that way in the pic but it's gonna be a flat top, no curves or elbow cut so the binding job will be pretty straight forward (touch wood). It means I'll have to cut maybe 4mm all the way round to get rid of that rolled edge but I always knew this would be the case.
    You got the same deal too Wokks with the free DT body/neck kits?

    @Pabs, yeah you're right man they do look similar although I must admit I'd never seen that model before.
