I'm going to be all over that ml kit once I've got some play money together, that thing looks killer.
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone has replaced the plastic nut on their 7 string kits and whether you had any luck finding anything that came close to dropping right in. Coming close to the end...
After what seemed like an eternity this stuff showed up.

Some stain and finishing oil for the next guitar and some shielding paint for this one (yes, I bought into the youtube hype...)....
The current gameplan at the moment is something p90 related and MAYBE something with a floyd purely for purpose of doing the whole "one of everything" thing. And definitely a bass. By then I should...

Been sitting for a week or so now, pretty happy with it for a first crack. used the sponge applicator method for everything on this build and I think I'll try out the paper...
Yeah, definitely trying to get a bit of experimentation out of the way with this build and have already learned a hell of a lot. Even the way the oil based finish behaves as opposed to the acrylic....
Behold the abomination.

I reckon it actually looks half decent, like the sprout of my guitar building adventures rising from the soil (thought that one up after the fact). Or as the old...
Yep, the trusty sp1000. Sat in the previous owners shed for about 10 years doing next to nothing and now it's sitting in mine doing the same.
Started filing.

Also had a crack at...
Cannibal corpse could probably write a song about the events that unfolded after this showed up.

My attempt last night resulted in resounding failure, I didn't put enough curve in the...
After using the highly technical method of grabbing the tang with a set of blunt cutters and bending it with the other hand, I think I've got it in pretty good. Also filled most of the holes in the...
Ok, the fret is here but I'm getting a bit stuck. The ends are refusing to stay down, I'm guessing it may be because the wire might not be radiused. Is there a way to work this without a fret bender...
Dreams do come true! Better start saving...
Extraction successful.

The invader in the supplied kit ring as it came with a flat one.

My budget staining rig made up from a taped up drumstick with a drill bit through it,...
This would be nice especially since there aren't any dean dealers in NZ, I'm not sure about AUS. And you rarely see the esp's outside of Japan. Shouldn't be too hard for the factory considering...
Well, a little bit of progress.
While under the influence of a rather nice stout I had an epiphany. Considering what I'm going to use this guitar for (riffing, or attempting to) I have no need...
Update
Have a replacement fret showing up soon so will be getting a crash course in fret work soon. Adam did graciously offer to compensate for a tech to do it but I'm not aware of anyone that...
Good thinking, was just going to seal it but a brown might look pretty good.
I've had pretty good luck with my ibbys, although I had one (funnily enough an s series) that had a whole bunch of dead frets.
Yep, was thinking this would be the case but thought I'd better consult the hive mind first. Will be able to email some better shots as I won't be restricted by file size like on here. It is...
Ok, here goes nothing.
Complete noob to this guitar building/maintaining thing, so far the extent of my abilities has been string changes. Settled on this kit because the guitarist in my band...
Howdy all,
I've been lurking around the forum for a while now, finally decided to pull the trigger on an exa7 kit. Will be sure to start a build diary in the near future once I've got my workspace...
