So I wanted to build something kind of Gretsch-like. Thats why I decided to go with the ES-2V Kit, which I finally - after some waiting time at German customs - got about 2 weeks ago.
I am going to use Gretssch FilterTrons on this guitar (still waiting for them to be delivered), as I just love this typical Gretsch sound.
Originally I was going for a Bigsby B7 to put on there, but it just wont fit (to large for Vibremate, even to large to get the bridge proberly in place...), so im now thinking about a B5 with a Vibramate.
I want to get a nice dark-ish blue finish, but I am not quite sure if I'm going to stain or paint it. I guess I will just get some wood, see which I like more and then use that on my guitar.
As this is my first guitar build - and thus my first diary - I would really appreaciate your guys input and feedback according the ideas for my build and this diary.
