Paint and polish is done. I started to install the goodies; tuners, trem, and mount the pickups. Tomorrow I'll get the wiring completed and start making noise. Hopefully this weekend I'll get the last two videos posted to my YouTube channel.
It's done. It is in tune and makes noise so progress has been made.
I do have to do a bit of refinement. I have some tools that have not arrived yet to polish the inside curves and I don't have my neck straight edge yet. I absolutely have to change the switch and volume pot. They are both total junk. I was certain they would be but gave them a try. I should have just went with my initial instinct on them.
One final item is the fret board. This kit was made during the Rosewood ban and this is some form of "engineered rosewood" which I believe is probably recycled plastic. I think it will be OK once it is thoroughly buffed and polished.
The final two videos will hopefully be posted to my channel this week. I will pit a link into the correct board on the forum once I'm done.
