Electric Guitar Kit JA : wonderful budget P90 guitar

My first kit. Pleasantly surprised by the body wood. Very well-matched three pieces. There were a few slight scuff marks around the cut outs so I decided that meant it was reliced. I bought a 9 euro, 125 ml bottle of clear matte, water-based varnish (through Amazon.fr. made by le Mauler. Le Suprême). 3 coats (without sanding off their sealer) . Looks exactly like it did before varnishing. Not plasticky like polyurethane can look. Easy to sand off if I want to do something else later. Being a fundamentally lazy bastard I secretly dreaded cutting out the headstock, but I got inspired by patterns in the wood grain and cut two 'horn' shapes out of the top and also profiled the side with a coping saw. After the fact it now looks like a gaping fish mouth. Maybe needs lipstick, you think. No. It's fine, really. It's got personality. Pros: - super light. 2,9 kgs /6,4 pds. in comparison my TE-20: 3,7 kgs; HB 35+: 4,1 kgs - natural wood look and feel - pick ups warm yet bright (effectively somewhere between my TE-20 and the HB 35+ -straightforward assembly. - neck and frets are impeccable. Also I didn't touch the satin finish they have on the neck. It's super smooth. - body really well contoured (appreciated when playing in sofa position). - High up the neck easily accessible - no neck dive - warm resonant sound unplugged (Being a geezer I'm up before dawn and like to play then -No tuning issues - intonation good out of the box. Cons: - B and E string slightly sitaring. (Hear mostly unplugged). Great for playing Norwegian Wood. Looks like I'll have to use my budget fret files for the first time. Or maybe it's the bridge? Same budget TOM as on my HB 35+ -the tuners feel like they got arthritis and it's a cold morning. They work but you have to apply yourself. I'll put in the same vintage style Klusons that I put on the TE-20. Future mods: -Put in a parellel/series /out of -phase switch (liked it on my TE-20) -swap different kinds of alnico magnets for the original ceramics . They cost less than 8 euros a set -move the pick up switch to the top left. It's really in the middle of the landing strip now.
