Build Considerations

• Ideal for intermediate builders.
• Mahogany body is slightly porous (less than ash); may require minimal grain filler for a smooth finish.
• Body shape can make painting tricky; watch for paint droplets.
• Set-in neck without inclination: perform careful dry fits and an initial string action check before gluing (gluing is irreversible).
• Bridge posts are pre-drilled; measuring is still recommended for accuracy and learning.
• Softer mahogany makes pre-drilling and neck pocket screwing easier.
• Tune-o-matic trapeze bridge provides overall intonation and string action adjustments; does not offer individual fine-tuning like a tremolo.
• Nut can be removed for customisation.
• Lack of neck inclination simplifies initial string action setup.
• Prefer a colour applied for you? See our painted guitar body options instead.
