I have finally finished my 000 from KMG. It has far exceeded my expectations. It has been a fulfilling couple of days. I found my "lost" 40 year old kit and I couldn't stop grinning. Then I strung up his beauty and heard her for the first time. Well the first time wasn't so great. But once I finished the saddle and set the action I couldn't put it down. I heard talk about the satisfaction from this and everyone couldn't be more right. I can't wait for the next one (everybody said this would be addicting).
I would like to thank all the people who commented and offered up their experience and insight. This is truly a community.
My first one is done!
