I built the kit but it sure doesn't look like the picture on the website. Where did I go wrong? : )

Thanks UJ and Ben!

Yeah the kit looked super easy to make but the fella that bought it stripped the screw hole on the first screw and got gun shy so he asked me to assemble it for him.

So I did... I just got a little carried away. Lol

Looks great! It's awesome to see folks take a basic kit and make it their own. The idea behind those "Pure & Simple" kits is that all it takes is a screwdriver to assemble them. Do do sell the fretted necks separately for those who want to go DIY-wild with the rest!

    Gees, K.  That is too bad.  Some of us seem to lack in the ability to follow direction and work neatly.  I remember my crappy model cars.

.  You came close except the tail piece, neck placement, volume controls, cool pup, saddle and sound hole covers.  It don't look like the pitcher, but it looks purty good

I like yours much better. You’re thinking “inside the box”.
