    welcome Old Mate and be warned this is the start of an addictive hobby.
    JMA-1 should look choice as, any idea of your stain plans ? assuming you will be staining an ash body ?

    start a build diary and please post some pics of the kit you scored.

    Best of luck and take your time you will get the best results, especially with curing times

    Thanks dingobass, seen the vids online you have done, awesome product mate. My mate wants his guitar natural, reckon the dingotone colourless will look ok on the JMA-1 ash body? Cheers.

    Yeah wokkaboy, just hit dingobass up about some dingotone. Will start a build diary on the weekend, the body looks great, actually the kit has surprised me, upgraded the machine heads, reckon she will play just right, can't wait to get into it. Thanks for the heads up mate.
