that's a mega deal Ads, gee I am very tempted but glancing at my pile of unbuilt kits !
this kit is ideal anyone who wants to have a crack at routing the pickups and control cavity before attempting a scratch body build.
There are many options like a rear control cavity if no pickguard is prefered and could have any config pups

As it was supposed to be a Thinline style, does it have a body cavity, but just no F-hole? Or is it an all solid-body?

I was thinking more Ry Cooder actually. That's going to be a Future FrankenWashie job though.

Nice blank canvas but need a router and plenty of balls to take on this sort of project......will have to pass but was seriously tempted but when you add-on cost of hardware & PUP's some of the complete kits look more attractive and require less work too.

I thought about that Waz, I have a couple of kits worth of stock stuff sitting around due to sourcing other pups and machine heads.Originally Posted by wazkelly
The work required factor is not an issue for me, and I have the tools needed to do the necessary on it. My builds seem to be getting done a wee bit at a time anyway so it's not like time is a factor either.

Looks like I was too late for this one! Was thinking esquire, bridge humbucker coil split, no pickguard, back routed, top loaded bridge all in a seafoam finish

I was going down a similar thought process with the routings, but it definitely is not going to be Seafoam. Never Seafoam. Ever.

Words to live by.
Thank you for grabbing this, my resolve was at breaking point. The perfect blank slate TL kit.
