Sunday Night Special - Double Feature

Two more Factory Seconds up for grabs...

The first is a really nice ES-3, full size true hollow body, single cutaway, ES-175 style kit.

There's a slight chip in the veneer at the neck join which will need some attention. Also it's got this weird discolouration on front and back, which really didn't show up until I put it under lights. I don't think it's glue, but I don't know what it is. I'm sure it will sand off or disappear once you apply the finish.

Otherwise, it's the complete kit with hardware for just $199 (normally $279)

The second is a stock standard TL-1 with a small crack forming between veneers on the body. Check the photos on the link.

This one is just $99 (normally $145).

Soooooooooo tempted....

Okay, seriously considering getting both. Can you recommend some upgraded pickups for the ES3 - wouldn't want to have to pull the wiring out to replace them later on.

Correction - I'm definitely getting these - done, bought, paid for! I figure since these will be my first 2 builds they'll be great to get some experience on without worrying too much about screwing things up with a more expensive kit. These two types of guitar have been on my short list for the jazz style I'm hoping to learn - Ed Bickert on tele, Joe Pass on ES-175. With the CDN$ pretty much on par with AUS$ and the discount the timing was perfect. The discolouration on the ES-3 doesn't bother me since I'm hoping to do a burst finish on it anyways.

Wish me luck;)

P.S. Adam - might put a smaller order in with a few extra parts - thinking about the upgraded tuners for the ES-3 but didn't want to miss out on the kit, so I put that order in right away. Any chance of getting a black pickguard instead of white?

@Adam,
Can I add some upgraded electronics (pots,caps,wire) to my order before you ship it? I was going to just put another order in, but the system wanted to charge me ~$450 for shipping :eek:
For the two kits I'm thinking I need 6 mini Bourns pots, 3 orange drop caps and enough wire to stick them all together - does that sound about right?

Peter.

Email Adam directly mate. adamboyle at pitbullguitars dot com.

Sorry about the edit, Pabs but we get smashed by spam if email addys are written as links :)

Oh, my bad. Apologies.

Well done Peter. That was a sweet deal you got.
