Tim, I haven't looked lately. I got this one for about $200 Canadian plus shipping last year. Wow, it's been a year.

The kit is solid, with for a couple exceptions. The truss rod adjustment is located at the heel of the neck. With the pick guard installed, it is impossible to adjust the neck during set-up. And it is a one-way, single action rod. So, that can cause issues.

And the bridge failed on one of the adjustable saddles. So I had to order a new one.

Hi Scott...have you seen anymore of those Vox kits anywhere. I can't find them on ebay anymore.

nice job. I came very close to buying one of those kits on ebay as i used to own a vox Mark xii and really miss it. Instead I decided to build a mini 4 string vox look alike. still have alot of work to do. will post pics of the progress later today.

Much thanks guys. I learned plenty while working on this one, as well as the first and previous kit build, a Telecaster. Of course, much is done for you in a kit. But it doesn't mean it's easy. A great professional guitar builder from the UK, Ben Crowe of Crimson Guitars gave a bit of insight to success. Simply put, the last 5% of a build (the details in finish, setup, etc.) are paramount to a nice guitar, or a very nice guitar.

With that comment in my head, I reached for some 1500 grit sand paper, and gave the neck of this one a proper bit of attention ( normally only sand to 600). So smooth, I could almost have gotten away with leaving it as is. But I did give it a Tung Oil treatment to finish it right.

Again, I appreciate the comments. Cheers.

"Beautiful" looking build 'Farmer', we must have similar  thoughts running through our heads, I was just about to post pics of my latest build, which I only just finished this morning, when I saw your Vox creation, mine too is a teardrop, but is no where near as "Flash" as yours.
