    Great job.

    I know it’s a bit scary setting the action on your first guitar. But it’s definitely a skill worth acquiring. Just do it by degrees. You’d be surprised the difference a fraction of a mm can make to playability.

    Yours is coming along nicely and seems you're being very patient with it so I'm sure it's going to be great!

    Could have been me. I don't exactly hate them, but I do find them pretty boring. I've built a couple and I can see the appeal for sure, but man, they are EVERYWHERE!

    Great kit to start with, but I see a lot of people doing scratch builds and basically doing exact copies and I just don't see the point of not at least trying to do something original if you've got all the tools and materials.

    My 2 cents on them anyway
    Build 1 - Shoegazer MK1 JMA-1
    Build 2 - The Relliecaster TL-1
    Build 3 - The Black Cherry SG AG-1
    Build 4 - The Sonicaster TL-1ish
    Build 5 - The Steampunker Bass YB-4
    Build 6 - The Howling Gowing ST-1
