you may be right there Ponch, I've seen some really nice light grain in some kits
So you any closer to putting stain on the body ? was it FW jarrah you are using ?

Not just yet Woks. I will be using FW jarrah. I've just cut the headstock and attached neck. And some careful measuring for the bridge.
I picked up a goto bridge, goto machine heads, bone nut and tonerider jazz pups from the post office today for upgrades. Electronics the usual upgrades.
Once I've drilled bridge holes I'll finish the neck (sanding and DT clear). Then ebony timbermate and jarrah body effort!

Looking good ponch. Upgrades sounds tasty too!
Can't wait to see some stain on the body

Yeah it's about time I've had this kit knocking around for months!
And what a pity, it looks like the bridge needs recessing so I'll need to pick up a router ☺
Any recommendations?

Andrew suggest you get a router that needs you to hold with two hands. I have a triton which is great. I recently bought thishttp://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-400...router_p621060 No customers where harmed in my visit to Bunnings other than my pride. as I needed something to use on a small section. I'm not happy with the fact it's quite slippery and can spin out your hand easily. DB did recommend that I use it with a clamp so I could at least hold with two hands. If it's not deep use a Dremel with router base the Stewmac one is great and solid. Also handy for inlay work. I bought the Dremel router base first it's cheap plastic and not very strong. Then went on to purchase the Stewmac version.
Hope it helps.
Best wishes
Kimball

Cheers Kimball thanks for the advice. I may investigate the stewmac dremel router base option as I have a dremel laying around and it's only a few mm I need to recess
