It is, I have bits I bought for my last one I didn't use because I changed my mind.
It's all part of the journey, which is fun.
The wife said I needed to do another one but this is daunting!

That's handy thanks.
The guy in Oz called Mr Fabulous guitars I have just discovered does a replica set but they are much more than the kit!
Early days though I'm still in the research phase.
Ha ha yes.
No I'm getting a lp p90 kit painting it gold then black (all good experience)
Neil reckons his firebird is so microphonic he can hear himself shout into it.
It's funny isn't it that...
Thanks Simon, there is a difference between a mini humbucker and a firebird which I need to get right.
I'm having a stab at Neil Youngs Old Black so it needs to be the right spec. If you do a bit...
I'm looking for a non boutique proper un wax potted Gibson type firebird pup for my next project but am struggling.
The best deal seems to be a guy in Oz who sells on ebay.
I'm based in the UK....
Well, I ordered the bone nut with the kit but didn't like the dimensions so I ordered one with better dimensions. By the time I got round to fitting it I put the Pit Bull one on by mistake causing...
Ha Ha, I'm already looking at the next one.
My friendly joinery company was shut when I went down there on Monday and I was busy at work today and forgot to check.
I think you're right about a...
Thanks Colin
Thanks Scott
An android xperia phone and Windows 10 on a laptop.
I take the photo on Quickimgur, send it to my email copy the url and paste it to the forum.
God i'm a Luddite!
This is driving me nuts.
I've put an app on my phone taken a pic copied the url then tried to post it on here but it's too big.
How do I make it the right size?
I bought some tuners from Angels Music Guitar Store and got them to the UK in two weeks.
Thanks for the detailed reply.
Yes there is a v shaped gap under the nut when it's up against the end of the fretboard which makes it an awkward shape to shim, I don't have any veneer so I will...
The SG jr Deluxe is all together and looks stunning ( I will post pics)
But, the nut isn't high enough so what do I shim it with? (It's also at an angle)
And, even though it's shielded it buzzes...
Could you please send me a template?

Thanks Simon, it's the same as mine.
I see why it looks a bit strange now.

I've just got my machine heads from China (two weeks to UK) and it turns out the holes aren't in the right place, oh well, the wife can't see it!
Also the pickguard doesn't fit the shape of the...
Thanks guys, I get it now. It was a long day yesterday with many distractions and I just couldn't see it clearly.
Yes Simon we did get the same bridge it looks great against the black which I find...
I want to glue the neck on my Gsj-1 and have set the saddles to the centre of the bridge but they are about 3-4 mm too far away, is this acceptable?
I get that they and the bridge will need moving...
Thanks for that Simon, I have now ordered a gold one to go with the black body on my gsj-1, if it doesn't look right it hasn't broken the bank.
Yeah, kind of what I thought. I will try and get round to doing the photo thing, it's just a bit daunting to one who is not a spring chicken!

The Vanson one turned up today and it is pretty much a direct replacement.
But, with the plastic nut knocked off it is easier to see down the neck and it has revealed a slight twist and a warped...
Thanks guys, one ordered.
I'll email Adam.
