Hello - about to start 335 style build

Hello all,

I'm in Sydney, and am about to start building a ES-335 style semi-hollow body. It's not a PBG kit - it's from DIY Guitars who have now closed up - although by the looks of it, it is very similar to the kits supplied by PBR. I hope it's OK to discuss builds that aren't PBG kits here!

Cheers,

Jon

Hi Jon,

Good to have you on board! There is a specific thread for non pbg builds.
https://www.buildyourownguitar.com.a...splay.php?f=53

there is a wealth of non PBG Kit binding and some scratch building that gets recorded there.

best of luck with your build!

G'day John. Welcome and good luck with the 335. They are lovely guitars, but I must admit to being afraid of building one.

I’ve always wanted to do one, but if it doesn’t compete with or live up to my Epiphone Casino, I’d be really bummed out.

That's a big risk. The Casino is also a great guitar. I love what Gary Clark Jr does with one!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I shall start my build diary over on the non-PBG area.
