    On track to get the guitar Monday or Tuesday, right when i am up to my ears in guitar work. No rush, i might get time to drool over DB's and Clarence fret job and dribble some beer on the neck to break it in.

    I wont get much done before i go on holidays, you will probably be well ahead of me when i get back.

    I do have a head start because i decided to use DB and get the neck frets and the nut done, saves alot of messing about later.

    nice one Tony I got one of these kits in the pile to build.
    I was assembling a JR-1 kit yesterday and found out the wrap around bridge the post holes should be wider than they are.
    Can you please check if the bridge holes on your kit line up with the post holes ?
    A TOM bridge fits so I am going to use a TOM and drill some string through holes - easier than relocating the bush holes
