Nice one, I'll have to sort one of these out. Perfect base for a custom shop 60s style build (replacing one stolen many years back..)
wow thanks Ben I haven't spotted that yet, always keen for a quilted maple top. With black hardware and black binding that has bulk appeal.
Ponch where was your 60's custom shop tele stolen from ? What a bugger
Oh man. Now i NEED this in my life.
yeah Pabs, Ads is an evil man bringing out all these enticing kits !
I was pretty happy with my pile of unbuilt kits before I saw this thread !
I had said 'no more kits' and I meant it, goddamnit. Looks like I'll be saving my pennies for a few weeks and then trying my hand at re-profiling the neck.
Pabs don't kid yourself mate, everyone with GAS can never stick to "no more kits" bwhahahahahha
Wow!
Now - that top is something I'd like to see done with a P bass body and as a tele bass kit. I'd grab one ina a heartbeat!
i think these will go out of stock pretty quickly....great value considering you get the cap and binding for the same price as a normal tl 1. only downside is that the pickguard is pre fitted, which makes it harder if you wanted to remove it and show off the whole cap
surely the pickguard can be removed. Hard to see in the pics if it's screwed in or another method.
I wouldn't be keen sanding the whole body with pickguard and neck pup in place, then staining it.
Ads can you please have a closer look at this kit to see if the pickguard can be removed ?
I presume its got the oversized neck humbucker route
Yes a cracker of a guitar. Stolen from a van in London between gigs (in the late 80's)... never to be seen again... lesson learned the hard way.Quote:

An angry dog in the van would have saved it !
ahh yeah wokka the pickguard can be removed, it says on the page though that its pre fitted which means the holes for the screws will already have been drilled, and so youd probs have to fill them and take extra care when staining so you cant see them!
thats what i was meaning, not that it was like glued to the body or anything like that haha
oh ok got you Ben, gee the factory make some rash decisions to pre-drill pickguard holes on a beautiful quilted maple cap that shouldn't be hidden behind plastic !
yeah thats it
Saw these kits at PBG HQ yesterday....
And yes, the caps are about 9.5 on the trouser fail scale :)
man, that is sweet!
no leftie!
Spank me! I could have lived without seeing that. GAS is a drag when you don't have the cash or space to buy more kits. (Not the mention the ill-advised buy one/sell one agreement with my wife for all future guitar purchases.)
there's also a quilted LP and PRs, I just haven't had the time to photograph them.
The binding is interesting, it looks like they've used timber instead of plastic.
stop it Ads, you got to stop teasing us with these awesome sounding kits.
Timber binding, wow, was DB's hair blowing back ?
oh man that's just mean....Quote:
