Well the kit arrived today, fast shipping considering the usual Christmas rush was probably still happening when I ordered it between Christmas and New Years! Cheers Adam!
On opening the box initial impressions were good, nice grain and barely visible joins in the body, I eyeballed the neck and it looks straight and the frets seem reasonably even (but I will go over them to be sure). The pickguard is probably the only part that seems to be not finished as well, but I plan on swapping that out for a black one anyway. I tried the neck in the pocket and it seems a snug fit, i still need to make sure the screws line up but that is easy enough to tidy up anyway. There is one small glue mark just above the neck pocket, but that should sand out easy enough, and there seems to be a small hole on the back that has been filled but shouldn't be too noticable.
I will get some more pics and make a start in the next day or two (maybe once the temperature drops below the mid 30s!)
