Whilst i'm still building my very first kit, i've always loved PRS style guitars, especially the headstock shape and the extra routing on the body (which i don't have the skills or tools to pull off). I would love to build something like this.

A single f hole with a thinline would be awesome. The new strats and teles look amazing as thinline and i reckon a kit as you have describe above would definitely have me hooked!Quote:

Except any PBG kit like that will have a huge F hole that looks out of place. I don't think they have any small F-hole templates.
That is very true.Quote:

Although the thinline Strat f-hole doesn't seem as big. I guess it doesn't have binding inside the hole like the PRS-1H does. Perhaps that's why they're bigger? And the use of veneers.

There are a couple of PRS styled scratchies slowly evolving in the Lab, we do enjoy a good PRS.Quote:

ESR-1E FrankenReso (This is about to get some colour)
IB-Freebie (This has to be stripped down as the basswood body has some issues)
Cliche Black LP (GAAAAAHHHH!)
Silent Baritone Build (Still sanding)
Waiting on shelf:
FV-Custom (have not yet touched it)
ST Custom, Unwanted kit (Damned Igor!)
IB-5 Custom, Unwanted kit (Damned Igor again!)
Add to that the raw timber for probably another 5 scratch builds. (This was all me)
You're really not doing too bad! :)
When you think about it FW, your just doing the community a solid justice by ensuring the unwanted kits have a caring home. It's really the right thing to do hahaQuote:

Just saw this build on Facebook. Not quite as carved as a PRS.

Agreed,love that quilted maple 3d effect hugely
Oh my, that is very nice indeedQuote:
