After your impressive first build I can't wait to see how these turn out, Jarrod.

good stuff Jarrod, you certainly have the bug with 2 new kits. Love the fret markers on the PRS never noticed these before.
Look forward to seeing these builds progress
@ Gav --> I think the guitar builders rehab could be busier than the naughty corner !

It's called GAS......Guitar Acquisition Syndrome.

The help group is called Guitar Acquisition Syndrome Support Group.

Wokka and I are founding members. Membership fees are free as you will no doubt have no funds left since you spent it all on guitars.

[wokkaboy]

haha agreed Gav, think between us two we have bought about 10% of the total PBG kits sold. We had GAS ages ago and there's no rehab that will remove it !

[jarrod]

well ya better pencil me in to the rehab group then. I walked in with the two boxes and the wife did that old roll the eyes thing lol...

[Gavin1393]

we dont use pencils Jarrod.....only permanent markers.....or a strategically placed tattoo.

[jarrod]

What the hell , in for a penny in for a pound

[jarrod]

Well No messing around in my house!
Here are some shots of the PRS-1TS on it's way, There was a lot of glue in the grain on a lot of the guitar and the binding had been sanded a little thin in places but hey we will make do with what we have. Colours are Burning Sun and Mahogany, be aware this is my first time at Wudtone for a guitar and as you know the spray gun is more my skill type.

On this Axe I thought I would go with a Gleaming front and rustic Mahogany back so I have gone light on the sanding on the back of body and butt of the neck.Want to try and get that well played sort of look and due to all the glue that was there I thought I would maybe use it to an advantage.

Hi Jarrod,

The burning sun on the top looks awesome, and contrasts well with the Mahogany. I love how it highlights the flame maple! Is this where you are putting the Tru-Oil? How about a couple of pictures so we can see how it's going? Love the headstock shape too.

cheers,
Gav.

Jarrod - lookin noice.... Good choice of colours to bring out the grain...

[jarrod]

Sadly I have been off shore working so not much has changed and I'm away most of January too . But I shall get into it over Christmas.

[jarrod]

OK so I got the Father inlaws TL-1 finished . He asked for a red wood finish so I had mahogany and mixed it with burning sun and well this what happened . Totally standard and finished in tru oil , now on to the prs .

Gav.

And Here is the PRS finished,
Upgrades are-
Emerson pots and Orange drop caps
Tone rider rock song humbuckers and the rest standard.
Mmmm still got to put head decal on yet. Plays a dream , very bluesy with the rock song pups.
This girl is now known as (THE SULTANA) signature because apparently SANTANA was taken lol...

Love that flame top Jarrod! The burning sun just looks superb. Another great build!

Cheers,
Gav.

[stan]

nice work on this one!

[wokkaboy]

nice work Jarrod, another stunning build, might look at one of these models. Colours suit that flame cap really well

[jarrod]

Thanks guy's I'm like a building machine at the moment . Since building the Aces high Tele I have developed this bad addiction to it. But hey I'm really having fun and ending up with some great guitars from it.
I'm really pleased with flame maple this girl had on it and Wokka I can recommend this build it really has a wonderful blues tone to it.
And lets face it your building is gonna make one look a million bucks

[lawry]

Looks great Jarrod. I've always loved the PRS shapes.
