    A 3+3 headstock wouldn't go astray either, but that's not the "style" of this kit.

    The body is slightly arched, but it's flat in the right spots, through the pickups and bridge.

    Thanks. That's good to know. I still have one eye on the possibilities of that kit. Definitely has to be a string-through for me too.
    I think I could round off all those pointy bits enough that it could make me happy.

    I guess now that I've looked at this long enough, I'm going to have to do something about it...



    It's a pretty thin neck though (by design), so I don't want to reduce stability by taking too much, but it should be OK?

    If you are careful, and pare the heel back to the line of the body without further thinning it, then you should be fine see below

    Yep, the half-rounded side.

    Ebony grain fill time on the mahogany.



    Not sure if I'll go for another black/grey effect, or something more resembling blackwood (to vibe with my Cort acoustic bass), but I'm laying down the grain for either scenario.
