After seeing so many of you create such great guitars, I finally decided to have a crack.
Kit arrived in great condition very soon after ordering.
At first look, I am very impressed with the finish.
Binding is neat and no screwy overhangs.
The MOP in the fingerboard looks great
Frets even seen in servicable shape before any work.
Dingotone Uluru is the one Ive chosen, and I look forward so seeing this product used.
The plan is to build a passable stage instrument using all parts from the original package, and measure them on their own merit.
Upgrades will be potentially attempted after we knock this thing together and give it a spin.
I hope to have an instrument that is very playable, and looks good from six feet away under stage lights.
So, we have the kit in mock assembled form.
(Complete with one knob making the maiden voyage into the f-hole.)
After reading a couple of the other threads on this kit, these are my two potential worries.
Neck joint is not as tight as I would have expected.
The headstock seems to suffer from all the symmetry problems discussed in other threads.
I'm not that worried about the headstock symmetry, so long as it stays in tune well.
Ive watched the videos, and I need to do a lot of rehearsal on the matter of soldering
