    Its fretless but tbh im sure thats due to how new it is :P

    also how easy is it to build a neck im doing a scratch build after this kit and want to know what im getting into. Also thinking of trying binding for the first time with it any advice on how to start a scratch build would be amazing

    Necks can be tricky first time round, but if you have the right tools and templates it's not rocket science..

    What you will need list.
    Templates for body,neck and fretboard. Pablopepper is the go to guy for templates.
    Router and appropriate bits for truss rod groove and flush trimming.
    Jigsaw.
    Rasps.
    Spokeshave.(optional)
    FBH for those times things need some persuading (thats a joke, Joyce)
    First time round I would reccomend using a pre slotted fret board.

    Then there are tools like radius sanding block, fretting hammer, fret nippers, crowning files, notched straight edge to name a few.

    From memory, I did a how to thread on neck building.... Will try and find it and post a link

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
