Hey @bodess welcome to the forum and to guitar building, be warned, it’s extremely addictive! 😁

The kit is looking good, I like the colour too. 2k clear is my preferred finish. 

Keep us up to date. 

Make guitars, not war 🌍✌️🎸

Welcome Bodess. Love that headstock - reminds me of Batman 🙂

Guitar making is the art and science of turning expensive wood into sawdust.
