this is a guitar kit I made for my Sister.  Learned a lot, and will be applying these lessons learnt to my own kit being built now.

Thanks @Russ,

managed to get the tuning sorted out (nice and stable, combined with a long aftertone) not been able to test the electronics, so may still hold some surprises in future...

  Thanks, I negotiated with my Sister, as she wanted a purple one.  My opinion is that this combination of colours (4) was visually more attractive.
