Greetings, so I got the kit yesterday, it's a MBM-1 with custom specs:
alder body
ebony fretboard
25.5" scale length
reverse headstock
24 frets
In the original specs it also included single coil route for the neck pickup
and dot inlays, which are missing due to some manufacturing errors.
I guess I'll have it in my next build.
Today I started with shaping the headstock based on the design of my 1st build, using a coping saw, than some filing and for final shaping I used 120 grit sandpaper:
Than I rounded the fretboard edges after the 24 fret which has some chipped wood, still visible but looks better:
After that I oiled the fretboard with some boiled linseed oil, to prevent cracks.
I sanded the body using 120 grit I think I sanded most of the scratches and tool marks but still have some glue spots I didn't manage to get rid off, I guess it needs more sanding.
