Default Stewmac OM Guitar kit Build

I just ordered this kit with Torrified spruce top , Rosewood back and sides , bolt on neck etc. I received the kit only with ine week in India.

Kit was well packed and no issue at all, only I could not found 2 screws of Turing Machine out of 12 screws. Herringbone purfling was found brocken, may be in custom, but not a big issue.

II don't have big workshop, have only some basic tool, so let see.

I built one of their OM kits (although in Adi and Mahogany) last year and it came out well. Stew Mac has incredible customer service. Contact them about the broken herringbone and missing screws and they'll take care of replacing the parts immediately and free of charge.

Sure Kings, i will post lot of pics. But I don't see any pics option, how i can post pics?

Columbus bro, herringbone purfling brocken at lower Bally, small portion ( 3 inch apx ) and i found this portion in box, tomorrow I will try to glue it and see. Tuning machine screws are different and have vintage look, i will try to find out here or order.

When you go to the reply box there is an icon with a mountain, yellow sky and black sun, click on it and paste the link to the picture (it has to be hosted on another site). Email SM, they will probably send you a couple of screws,

Using Firefox on windows, not an issue for me but it just bugs me when I do not know how to get something to work.
