Hey there Phil, I finished up my kit a few weeks ago and haven’t been able to put it down since. This guitar truly was a piece of art before I did anything to it. So satisfied with this guitar. The fret work is the best of any of the guitars I own or have played for that matter. Definitely learned a lot along the way and made my fair share of mistakes but I wouldn’t change a thing about my first build. Loved every step of the process. My new favorite guitar, I plan to build another one before too long!
Here’s the specs on the thing:
- Non Chambered – Two piece body
- Plain maple cap – Mahogany back and neck
- 60’s Neck
- Ebony Board
- Cream bound body and neck
- One switch (where I like it), one volume, one tone, no bull sh*t
- Body Top finish – General Finishes java gel stain
- Neck – Minwax jacobean
- Back and sides – Just try oil, all finished with tru oil
- Tuners – Sperzel trim-lok
- Nut – Graph tech tusq
- Pickups – Neck – Gibson 496R/Bridge – Gibson 500T
- Bridge – Gotoh with Titanium saddles
- Tailpiece – Gibson TP-6
- Pots – CTS 500k
