Very nice indeed. I've never been fan of the Trini Lopez modifications to the 335, but you've almost got me converted!

Greetings from Finland, Northern Europe. Here is my BG-46 that just happens to be the first guitar/bass that I have ever built.
I used only the kit parts though I lifted the bass bridge to get the strings even further away from the fretboard because I just like playing with a bass like that.
I had some problems with the wirings at first but overall the guitar/bass was easy enough for anyone to make if you don't run out of patience. The guitar/bass plays well and I am really happy with the result.
The paint I used (Azure Lagoon) was from a company that pitbull recommended (Wudtone) since dingotone wasn't an option in Finland.
It might not be GOTM material but it's always worth to try
PS. I was unable to post pictures so I put a link below.

Hi, I have just completed my first kit. It is a TLA-1R and i tried to keep in nice simple being my first. tried to not bite of more than i could chew. Body is finished in a transparent white gloss, gloss headstock face with clear satin neck. All black hardware and pickups stock except for the Babicz Z series bridge and subsequent string thru ferrules. Have been bitten by the bug for sure im itching to get another one underway.
ONNEA! Thats a great effort Urho, a worthy contender for sure, nice job!
