Well its started and here is what I have The only thing I am replacing will be the scratch plate as I want a black one the rest will be keep stock, out of the box parts. Well i'm off to watch the videos and read some more then come up with a plan.

looks like a nice kit you scored Joe. The photo looks like the neck pup cavity isn't there, is that an illusion ?

yes its just an illusion, I really like the grain on the neck it should come up nice.
ah nice one Joe. It's worth doing a full mock build before you start sanding, make sure all the tuners, pickguard/pups fit.
Hows the neck fit in the pocket, nice and tight ?

That is some awesome grain in the ash body. Looking good.
Great kit Joe! Some really nice Ash grain there. I have just finished grain filling my Ash LP with walnut Timbermate and I really like how the grain has been highlighted. Just something to consider. Good luck with the build - should be a great one!
cheers,
Gav.

Can't wait to see the progress.
bit slow on starting, work is hell at the moment with the christmas madness. I have 3 days off over christmas so will use that time to do a mock up and get everything messured up. Then I hope to sand it down and get it primmed ready for the color coat, when I make my mind up between the two colours I have in mind.
Edit: Forgot to mention I am also finishing this one

Got it out to make a start today, I measured the distance from the nut to the 12th and then the 12th to the bridge and it worked out to be a total 34 inch. I have marked the distance, now I just have to clamp it up with the strings on and make sure it all aligns, then drill the holes. First question with the pick ups which is the neck and which is the bridge?
Cheers Joe
