As to amps, opinions are many and varied. I bought the Boss Katana 50 for my daughter. Its exceptional bang for buck and can be set to 0.5 watt mode, which is perfect for not disturbing others too...
Thanks Fretworn. I didn't want to break it!
Hi folks. I am wondering if anyone knows - are truss rods in PBG kit necks single or double?
I like the look and the tone.
I wonder how it would look if you 'flipped things - cut a black plastic control plate to compliment the aluminium scratch plate?
Thanks man,
I had the same thoughts on FW from Bunnings, could not see any inof on waxed / not waxed. For convenience sake I'll stop by tonight and if it is unwaxed, I'll grab some.
As for the...
Wow. Great artwork
Thanks McCreed,
Thinking about this a little more I will try your shellac approach. What is a good source of wax free shellac? Is it something I can get at 'Bunnies'?
Thanks guys, I will check out both approaches

That was my plan for shopping paint colours.

I'm about to start a strat project with my daughter. This might be the colour she is after.
Hi All,

This is my first build and was challenging but lots of fun.

Thanks all!

Hey Sonic,
Excuse if this is 'suck eggs' terrtiory, but if you lack a drill press, but have a plunge router, you could build a cheap router sled for thicknessing. I've seen quite a few people on...
I used Duplicolour paint and clear coat acrylic for my build. It gives great results, but does seem to take a quite a while to cure properly. A rough rule of thumb - between 3 and 7 days before I was...
Its looking great, you must be very pleased. That seafoam green is really popular. I think it or a similar blue will be on my future radar.
It's a big milestone when you get the guitar together...
Thanks Frankie, TK, Sonic and IllGiveItAGo.
Lots of great support and advice in these here parts, makes the job easier.
Hi Guys and Gals,
Thanks for the nice comments.
More photos and more progress...
First up, some images of the body, (with WIP neck), after polishing.
She looks great except for a...
Hi Peeps,
Long gaps in between updates are pretty much de rigeur for me, but hey...
Things continue to move forward - I can see the finish line now.
Over the past few weeks I've been:

Thanks Mark, will look ito it
Hi Mark, I like your logo. I see you designed it yourself - did you source it from a supplier or print it yourself? I need to source one and Rothko Frost have let me down.
Cheers bud
Hi folks,
A bit of radio silence from me, but much progress happening:
- I've almost finished the neck.
- I am adding lacquer coats to the body.
- I've designed and templated a pickguard.
