Hello,
My name is Jay, from Perth, I'm still learning to play but I have ordered a GR1 and I'm excited to start building my own dream guitar. I have a specific idea in mind, about the style and finish and hope to share, grow and learn with everyone.

Welcome Jay, good luck with the build.

Hi Jay and welcome. Apart from the Bigsby and a rounded, instead of a Florentine, cutaway, it looks very similar to my ES-3 kit.
So I'd recommend waiting a few days for the wood to settle down after its journey in fluctuating temperatures and humidities, before getting a good idea about how good (or bad) the neck pocket fit is. Mine was very tight at first with big gaps as it wasn't fitting properly, but after a week, I tried it again and everything was fine.
Good luck with the build.
