First impression of this kit is WOW! if I did nothing but fix the neck to the body and screw on the scratchplate I could pose like my idol Johnny ! Nevertheless, I'd like to to take it a it further and am in no rush to do it.
To date I have only had a few guitars, a couple of catalogue Les Paul's, followed by my first decent guitar back in the early 80's an Ibanez Iceman which I loved, but one day I came home and my lovely wife had part exchanged for an '69 Gibbo SG - Angus Young, Brian James, etc. I still have it, under the bed.
All these years, there's one guitar I always wanted, the one played by Johnny or at least close to it as there are a few variations. I love the look of the Ventures II, not so keen on the German carve too fussy in my opinion and while I love the distinctive look of the slanted neck pickup on Mossy's I'm happy to have a guitar without it. The MKA-2 at first glance doesn't appear to be a difficult build thankfully, reading the forum there are a few lovely examples to be inspired by and I hope to do the kit justice as the main parts look and feel superb.
This is my intro, I have a few things to ask of the expert builders tomorrow.
