Thank you all for this kind welcome...
Brendan, Mara sent special hog to you...
Paul, you're the one guilty on doing this kit. I was doubt about make a guitar or bass and then stopped at your thread here, so...if somethings goes wrong......
Wokka, im not very "sports" fan but yeah, theres so many talent people here in many many arts/disciplines (so to speak).
HI Fretworn, nice to meet you!
Update:
Yesterday, i checked it out the kit and finally i could measure physically all the dimensions i've researched on internet, and all they fit very well.
So, the kit its almost perfect (some glue spots near the body binding and the ugly base of the stock nut) are the most significant negative points of the kit..The hardware, better than i expected, specially machine heads and pickguard.
Clamped the neck and did measure the scale (with print sheets of the hipshot bridge by the moment) and appears to be good.
So, the next steps meanwhile the bridge comes are:
- buy one 18mm round wood strip to fill the headstock holes, some interesting wood plank to make the headstock wings and pick one 3mm wood plank for cover the new headstock reshaping (front and back). Im thinking maybe maple or mahogany, sapelle or something like that.
- Disengage fretwire carefully and neck binding to make the cavities for the new inlays, as you would see on here:
