Oooh. That’s going to look purdy.

It looks amazing Simon. I have shelved my semi hollow body kit until I have added many more strings to my bow. I can’t get the neck to fit anywhere near acceptably and I really don’t have the skill...
You’ve really mastered the burst Simon. It looks amazing. It sounds like everything was conspiring against you to stop you getting a great finish, but you persevered and prevailed. It’s a shame you...
Mark I think the trem will hide it from the top and there’s a rear cover plate that should hide any sins so I’m hoping it’ll be ok. To be honest, If that’s the last mishap with this kit I’ll be...
The studs measure 11.3mm. StewMac recommended an 11mm hole so I drilled a test hole at that and also a 7/16” one as well. The 11mm felt snug, the 7/16 a tiny bit loose so I decided to go with the...
Sooooo, today didn't go quite to plan. After much umming and ahhhing, I decided to bite the bullet and drill for the new Gotoh bridge. Lots of checking and double checking. Drilling test holes in a...
Setting up/ cleaning up my workshop. Making a start in earnest on my pitbull kit. Finishing some motorbike projects to sell off to fund more guitar building

You've got a great balance there with the black and red. I really like the size of the burst. Can't wait to see more of this build

Thanks Simon. Yeah I figured the half mm should hopefully be safe. The body is deep enough to take the new studs so that's a bonus.
I'd never thought of how the force is distributed. Thanks for...
No such luck unfortunately. The studs are quite are a bit bigger. At this stage I think I'll roll the dice and drill for the new studs. If it all goes pear shaped it'll end up a solid colour hard...
So I’ve been slowly piecing together the parts I want, to upgrade this build to level I think it deserves. Pickups on the way, upgraded switches and pots and a push pull for coil splitting.
I’ve...
Mate if that's your first go at a burst, you haven't left yourself much room for improvement. I mean, holy cow that's a sexy beast. You fellas are truly an inspiration to a new comer like myself

Welcome Wayne. Good luck with the build and hopefully your hand issues are behind you too.

I can't wait to see it in red. I think the gold hardware will be super classy. I'm right on the verge of saying screw the green stain on my current project and painting it metallic green and a silver...
I love that colour Sidewinder. It'll be amazing with the clear coats on.

You could sell those Sonic. I'm sure there's plenty of us that could use tools like that.

Isn't it amazing how such a small part of the guitar can have such an impact on the way it looks? For what it's worth I like it with both headstocks, but I really like what you've done with it so far...
Ok, I need to know what the FS is on the big green shed? For stuff?

So the plan of attack at this point is some spot repairs for the scratches, re stain those spots to hopefully match the finish. Then sanding sealer, block it back and then clear coats. Not sure if...
Thanks Simon. I’m thinking maybe I should sand back and fill the scratches with timber mate and then spot stain those parts. Not sure if it would take the stain but at this point I’m thinking if I...
That's two magnificent axes you have there Sonic. I'd be super proud if i could make something half as good as that. Well done mate, another positive step towards mass production!
Well, I'm back to finishing this lovely little beast. After some major arm surgery and a long lay off the tools while i regained the use of my arm, i went and bought myself a Pitbull kit to play...
That’s looking fantastic. I love that colour combination. Very inspiring.
