    Yeh mate flame maple veneer front and back, head stock is shaped which i didnt expect. I think all these kits are just about the same, this one has chrome hardware which i am glad of, i dont like gold. The 500k mini pots read 500k to 530k which is ok but one comes in at 430k, these will go into my junk draw and used maybe in cigar box guitars.
    Pickups DC resistance read around the 9.9Kwhich doesnt tell me much other than they are alive, i havent done the henries on them, but i am going to wind myself a set of HB's and gut these for future reference.
