43287 I love this Yamaha custom model for Issei Noro, guitarist of Casiopea. Would love to see a similar kit, something so appealing about the rounded off double-cut body, and the pickups. I’m not...

43271 There is a small gap between the ledge on the neck and the body (I’d say about 1-1.5mm). Is this something I should worry about before gluing on the neck? Is sanding the heel to get rid of the...

Also on the topic of leveling frets, is it okay to do it before I glue in the neck, or should I wait until it’s in the body?

I’m getting ready to level and crown my frets, and I was wondering if using a radius sanding block is necessary over using a flat block. I’ve seen some say that radius sanding blocks are only needed...

I’m going to use tiny zip ties to hide the wires from the F-holes.

43266 This is the wiring that I came up with. Pickups work well when tapping with a screw driver. The bridge tone pot is a bit off, meaning there’s only a great change in tone when going towards...

When installing the switch, are there any issues with installing the switch sideways so that it goes left to right, so long as the wires run cleanly to the controls?

When soldering wires, is it okay to hook the end of a wire in order to stay on the prongs of the pots? Or should I only feed it straight through the hole?

43264 Here is a picture of the diagram that I made. Does everything seem okay?

I have been watching some tutorials of people wiring their pickups, and when it is time to ground them together, they solder the same length of braided wire to the back of all four pots. My issue is...

Hello! I just finished applying some oil based poly after letting a few coats of Tung oil dry over the stain. I ended up doing 6 coats on the body and 5 on the neck, and both are now very shiny and...

Hello! I am doing an ES-3 for my first build, and I was wondering whether it would be worth buying a fret crowing file, and redoing the frets on the neck. They feel pretty good out of the box, but I...

I finished staining my ES-3 body and neck, and I’m ready to start finishing it. For the body I plan to apply 1-2 coats of tung oil, letting that completely dry, then ending with an oil-based poly...

43211 This is a picture of the body, I believe it has a maple veneer. Thank you for your advice!!

Hello everyone! I am building an a ES-3 kit, and I’m at the stage where I’m ready to begin staining the wood. I plan on staining the top with a darker ebony water-based stain, sanding that a bit to...

Hello, this is my first kit, and I have a few questions about six parts with threads around them with a nut at the top and the washers that came with them. I can’t figure out where these are supposed...

This is my first build and I really wanted to try a hollow body jazz style guitar, as Steve Howe is one of my idols haha. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the body came with a quilted maple...
