Hi all. Just got an email confirming my ib5 kit is on its way so i thought what better time to start my build diary. This will be build two after completing a tla-1r this time last year. It was really a warm up with the ib5 being the main goal. So the kit was custom ordered with only change of ebony fret board with no fret markers.

The plan is finish wise is a greyish black stain in a satin, undecided to have matching headstock or not. I have a active preamp and swaping out the nut for a warwick pending size matching.
