    Just a question for auspost :
    The kit is blocked since Wednesday (day of sending) in the state "Processed through facility" in Perth, is this normal?

    Yes, there are some delays in shipping due to Christmas. My kit was supposed to arrive 28thDec, still not delivered by Australia Post.

    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.

    A first kit for Christmas: JMA-1L

    So, I think I’m forced to wait some more weeks

    Hello !
    The kit is finally here! : D

    After having received it, I looked for some blows or defects on the body and the handle, which I did not find





    The only flaw being a small trace of glue close to the cavity of the pickups:


    I then tried to make a small "draft" of the guitar:


    But I don't know the place of these pieces:


    I then quickly checked the status of the microphones:



    And there, I do not know if it's normal, but the humbucker seems a little "dirty":

    Do you think like me that nothing is missing and that everything is fine?
    Have I forgotten to look at something?

    If I'm not mistaken, the next step is sanding, for which I have to wait for the package containing the sandpaper, after which I will start for the long road that is the finish of the guitar!

    Good day / evening to you all!

    Looks like the headstock has received the 'Freddy Krueger' treatment (I wish I could remember the member's name here that coined the expression).

    cheers, Mark.
