Aww man, this is gunna be a slow build :( haven't even been able to edit the unboxing vid!
If it is a slow build, then you follow the path of his Holiness the Dingo Lama. Build not in haste....Quote:

haha nah Waz I don't think any build diary will reach 130+ pages
Yeah, that record may stand for quite some time.
Haha tried that last time... only got half the amount! I'll def keep you all updated with the progression to my progress haha currently uni is taking a huge chunk of my time up gah hopefully Thursday night I should have the vid up of the unboxing and Friday I'll start sanding :) I've ordered my stains from the US. Got a real nice purple and a black. Going to use drops of the black to make the purple darker where needed. Can't wait to actually start the build!
Video is finally done! So stoked with my kit. Can't wait to start. Hopefully will get some sanding done tomorrow :D
here's the vid! https://youtu.be/Q0wWBjYWM4w
For some reason I have no sound but kind of PU are those? And good luck with the build :)
Hey Kick,Quote:

Ok, I asked it because they look different than the PU's that came with my black hardware kit. Mine are just filled with some black epoxy or something and yours are 'open' at the back. Perhaps there's other hardware with the SG kits....
Yeah sorry man, not sure.Quote:

My push/pull pots came today! Getting excited to get into it!
Hey Shazz, better check the scale length, from memory I had to chop a bit of the neck heel - maybe it's not a problem anymore on current kits, that was years ago.
Best get the centre pup cavity routed early in the build !
Hey wokka, I measured it up yesterday and it seems to be all good! Once I fix the saddle in place I'll double check before fixing the neck :)Quote:

100%! Don't want an out of scale guitar... would be pointless hahaQuote:

No action yet in my build *sigh* I did how ever complete a guitar with my mum this morning... I slightly different guitar with some nice flavour!
The finished piece!
