Poorly installed nut shim - Binding separating from neck.
Here is a project that everybody always wants to build- a REAL semi hollow 335 kit. The real stuff, ALL MAPLE laminated front and back.Made the right way- Solid center section and real arched laminated maple..The neck is a SET NECK- that means you have to use your chisels and sandpaper to get a good fit on the offset style tenon joint, then use Hide or Carpenters glue to build this guitar. It's not rocket science, but patience and research will help you produce a superior guitar. The vintage style LONG TENON is very easy even for a first-timer to get a nice tight fit.We give you the entire package- unfinished body and neck- fretted with nut installed, ALL the hardware right down to the last screw- Now...the hardware is "basic"... certainly good enough to get you going- but you might want to consider upgrading some stuff if your finish job turns out good- All of our better quality parts we sell separately will fit with NO mods.The body is bound top and back- and the top and is ready for some aniline dye or stain. the neck is bound with rosewood fingerboard and block inlays.A Super way to get introduced to the art and craft of building your own guitar.These are factory fresh and first quality- NO SEALER is applied- These are raw wood so you can chose to apply a vintage Lacquer finish if you chose. YES bridge or tailpiece holes are pre-drilled so it's very easy to install the tuneomatic and stop tailpiece.Take your time- do some homework, get the right glues and finishing materials and you can craft a very, very nice playing instrument.We include all the basics- and of course we strongly encourage you to think about upgrading pickups and parts with our reasonably priced line of stuff available right here on this very website!
