Build Considerations
- Mahogany body is mildly porous; minimal grain filler recommended.
- Intricate contours require careful painting to avoid drips.
- Soft wood facilitates drilling/screwing; bridge posts are pre-drilled.
- No neck inclination required; flat neck angle simplifies setup.
- Bridge functions similarly to a tune-o-matic for intonation and action.
- This kit's solderless wiring means no iron is needed to complete the build.
