    some inspiration for you Adam, not a lot of pics on the interwebs , most seem to be with a cutaway or are semi-hollows (not sure of that code 330?)

    I'm going with something more like this...I think, or a Dark green burst similar in tones to the Jr-1 as they with both have similar fittings and pickup

    This guitar reminds me so much of the Epiphone Century made first in 1939. if I hadn't bought the electro acoustic GR-1SF I'd love this. This guitar has been made re-popular by the success of James Bay's Chaos And Calm. If you've not heard it check out the sound on this track https://youtu.be/GsPq9mzFNGY. They made two different headstocks supposedly the one with the smaller headstock sings like a bird. Maybe I'll get one later with a nice P90 on. Nice kit love it. Great job Adam look forward to seeing your build.

    It's an ES-125 style kit, Dedman.

    If I can end up with something like this I'll be very happy:

    I saw Adam today and he informed me he was going to build one of these.....
    Lucky he has a tame Luthier close by

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
