Hi all,
A few days ago my kit (no hardware) arrived in the Netherlands. Clearance cost was a bit of a bummer (so a body, neck and a cavity cover set me back about 300 Australian dollars) but I already knew building is note expensive than buying, so...
The body looks nice. I plan to stain the top and finish the whole guitar with Tru-oil because I suck at painting.
The neck was a bit of a let down. A small crack at the top of the headstock along the line of the grain. Shit happens and it was easily fixed with some glue and a clamp. I had a very hard time to straighten the neck for a fret level but I got close enough. It needed a lot of leveling but I finally got it to where I want and I'm now in the process of reshaping and polishing.
I'll make choices along the way, but it will get black hardware, a Tom bridge with tailpiece and Iron Gear pickups. Besides that, everything is open.
