Hey what is the 12 string headstock like when the guitar is strapped on ? Doors the head feel heavy?
Looks very nice, i vove the matial and placement. Is the edge channel deep enough to put binding on? That might be a nice way to hide the material edge.

Hey all.
I believe my custom kit should be in soon!! (Very excited) Mahogany body thin line Tele. F hole, pearloid binding on top, with a flame maple veneer. Belly carve on back. Maple neck and...

Here is my YB-4 kit.
I used Japan black and Walnut stains in different layers and sanded them back to get the "rustic" burst. Top coat is clear enamel ( takes ages to cure if you spray too think.)...
I've had great success with Feast Watson products. I had a green proof tint that looked awesome but I can't find it anymore. Danish oil is great too.

Hello fellow Geetar builders.
I've read posts about customising kits i.e. getting custom options or even one off kits.
just curious to know what people have done and what is actually possible...
very sweet. i love the star caster shape. The finish does look very nice, has that lovingly built by hand sheen to.
that stain is awesome! my next build will be a semi acoustic so I'm keen to follow your build!!
as far as the difference with the neck color, just give the neck an extra coat of stain, it will...

An update to the stain experiment.
so far the the colour has gone really well, on with black, which i sanded back, then coats of oak brown, and more selective sanding.
i have now started top...

How about a semi hollow Tele (or Les Paul) with an acoustic style rosewood bridge with a piezo pickup. Built in preamp/tuner. Magnetic pups as an option. Preferably with binding on the front of a...
