Another build, that I really desired to do is a single cut, one humbucker, les paul kind of style guitar. Inspired by the ESP Ltd Black Metal line, but wanted to color the guitar black with visible wood structure....
And well, the kit arrived today...Overall they made what I asked them to do, but...
Holes (poti) are drilled, where should be none and placed how and like what again?...
the neck pocket is also too deep for the neck...have to put some veneer inbetween there I think...
The veneer on top of the body is not glued properly...dont know what to make here...syringe injection of glue?...
or just sand the veneer down...
And I do not know, why the humbucker routing has always to be THAT big (seen only one size humbuckers in many guitars), and I also wanted direct to wood mounting, the shape of a humbucker, not the hole you cover by mounting rings...
I understand the price quality issue, but there could be at least some kind of perception...But the factories just do what they want...
Maybe it should cost more, but give a better result...
Overall I like the shape and the feeling of the wood...going to rescue the stuff, I suppose...but it is not very satisfying to be honest...
