NBD part 1

I have been wanting a semi-hollow bass to match my Epiphone Dot someday, and now I will have one some day.
I saw a guitar kit on eBay for a left handed jazz guitar that looked pretty cool.
By the time I went to buy one they were gone, but I saw the seller had these.
I probably should have started my guitar kit building career with something simpler like a P Bass or a Strat. That might still be a good idea.
With the glued in neck and routing the electronics through the f holes to their proper locations, this will be like building a ship in a bottle.

It will be cool when it's done. I am thinking of either staining it red to match my Dot, or leaving it with a semi-natural finish.
