Thank a lot for going into so much detail! I'll give it a go tomorrow.
Oh, good call, will do. Thanks!
I went ahead and put a coat of sanding sealer on the body and the tear on edge of the neck cavity expanded (so I did learn something here :D). Eventually it broke off, so now I have the little chip...
Gave the body a sand with the orbital 180, then hand sanded with 240. No idea how long I'm meant to sand for, until it's flat? There is a dent on the horn but it's relatively deep (my fault) and the...
Crimson Guitars is running a guitar building competition in 2021, one for kits and one for scratch builds. Figured some of the builders here may be interested in something like this. If anything it's...
1. Orbital 180 Grit
2. Sand with the grain 240 Grit
3. Feast & Watson Sanding Sealer (24hrs dry) > Light Sand
4. Acrylic Paint
5. Tru-Oil Buildup > Dry > Light Sand?
6. Tru-Oil Coat > Dry x4 or...
Wow awesome build and hand tools only that's awesome!
Thanks a lot Rob! I will check out your LP Junior build. Might try file down the seats/saddles (?) of the humbuckers before I bust out the chisel, I have basically zero woodwork experience.
Super happy to get this shape as a lefty. The idea is to be patient with this build while I learn on the TL-1L with the end goal being a classic black explorer with white pickguard look (anyone know...
Picked up some sand paper (240/400/600), some painters tape and a cork sanding block. Should've checked my list before I left, I missed the 1200 grit.
Taped the tuners in place to check string...
EX-1L arrived today. Not sure if I should start a new thread for it? The kit seems decent so far, but I will have another look under natural light later. The neck pocket is super tight atm, will see...

The burr? Haha more like a dent, praise natural light.

Shitty...
Kit arrived today and it seems decent. Going to list the quirks my kit has.
1. Neck pocket slightly too wide (shouldn't be much of an issue on a tele right? It's a mm at best).
2. Burr/Knot...
Thanks guys.
Says this may work for SGs etc.

Have Lefty Tele and Explorer kits on the way! I've been lurking for a while so I've seen quite a few of the amazing builds you guys have posted. Seems like a great community!
