Hey Phil,
Finally have some decent pics of the X that my son Daniel and I put together. Great learning experience for our first time building a guitar. Daniel loves playing it.
The quality of the kit is amazing right out of the box; fret work is great. I glued the neck on the body after I finish sanded it up to about 800 grit. I did not grain fill and did several, probably about 10 very light coats of Tru Oil….wipe on then wipe off.
Humbuckers are Golden Age with a paper in oil 0.022 Cap. I did drill one hole so that I could thread a soldered ground wire from the bottom of the bridge post and pull it through to ground on the back of one of the pots.
I had the pic gaurd made specifically for this guitar by www.pickgardian.com (I sent them a paper template).
Great product which makes Great guitar!!
Best,
Bart
