This is my first attempt at a kit guitar.
Some mistakes were made but it has mostly went OK.
Body
Quilt maple on swamp ash body with 720 mod and natural mask binding. Black dye finish on mbody and matching quilt maple with black dye on the headstock.
Neck
Flame maple neck with flame maple fretboard 1-11/16" nut, 24 fret with wizard profile.
Hardware
Schaller 475 bridge, Schaller Strap locks, Schaller mini locking tuner. Bare knucke black hawks with push pull on the tone knob.
I am now just waiting on a capacitor which i forgot to order so i can finish the wiring and finally hear it.
The only issue I am having is with the neck. There is insane buzz on the 1st and 2nd frets unless I crank the action way up. Ive tried adjusting the truss rod but its got to the point where I am sure the neck is flat, so I might have to visit my local plek machine and get the frets leveled. I actually had to shim the neck as well, the schaller 475 sits quite high and there wasn't any room for adjusting the action down further if I needed to.
I hope everyone enjoys.
