Looks good to me.

I haven't heard of kits for accoustic guitars, please keep us informed perhaps with a review of the kit on arrival.woody U.K.

Thanks Ray,
I did do the neck,except slotting the fretboard.I had that done at Gerard Gilets in Botany,Sydney.I learnt a lot when making the neck mainly take your time!
All the timber came from Anagote,and the majority of the hardware from Stewmac.
You are right about the Mirrored Tele,that is exactly what it "ended" up like - long story!!!
Hows it go,measure twice,cut once -something like that anyway.
The guitar is a bit heavy and the neck is a little chunky but it does sound really good.
You can hide the cosmetics,but not the sound.
I used Tru oil on it,which I got from a Gun Shop down near Hurstville.
This was very easy to apply and it has kept its finish OK.
Regards
Greg

Very nice! With those Seymours I bet it's a real / rock blues machine.

You guys will know about the kit well before its finished ,because I am sure I will be asking you a lot of questions .
There is another forum that is specifically for "Kit Guitars" and I have already been hassling them.
I will take photos of different stages and post them here.
Regards
Greg
