Michael V’s wickedly cool guitar # 2

Hi Phil,

I finally finished this up. I spent the last 4 months working on this whenever i got a free moment. Guitar looks amazing, with the exception of a few dings on the front where i dropped a tool. I’ll fix that soon but i couldn’t wait to get this baby up and running.

It is also an amazing player, and has become one of my favorites! The whole experience is very rewarding to me, this is now my fifth build, and my second Precision and it is amazing how much more i learn each time.

The wood was so nice and the quality was apparent when I first received the kit. The neck fit in perfectly, and the fret work was great. I finished this using Target waterbased laquer. I personally cant stand being around nitro and this is pretty easy on the environment. So far I have had pretty good results with this stuff.

Below are the specs. thanks and looking forward to my next build.
