Thanks.
I'll try to post some better pictures in the future

Hello there,
Little update after first layer of lacquer.

It seems the lacquer added a bit of contrast.
I'm pleased by how this is going.
Next layer tomorrow

Hello there,
Back on track after two quarantine (20 days of isolation). I didn't touch the guitar as i wanted to have some quality times with my family (all in all it was a great experience...
Hello there,
I started finishing the guitar.
Did a lot of sanding, dying, sanding again. I cannot say I'm totally happy with the result but I'm think I'm done.

Hi,
Im building this kit as well and had some thought about the pickups.
On mine too, the neck pup poles are poorly aligned. Lurking the forum, i didn't find a post talking about the sonic...
Thanks guys.
I can't wait to start dying and painting but the paint guy at work has his holidays and I don't want to mess things up by doing myself without advices...
It's a game of patience
Hi there,
Been busy at home, busy at work, but here's a little update:
Glued the neck and managed to get a nice joint that is aesthetically pleasant and ergonomically good.

Hi,
Thanks Ricky for the reply. I have checked the neck and my measurements are ok as I can fit the neck pup and I got my scale length. I must say I'm happy with it.
And for the body dent,...
Hi there,
I received the new neck yesterday, everything seems to be fine.
The frets are regularly cuts on low and high sides.

Did a leveling/polishing job on the frets and it went...
Thanks Simon, (my auto-correct already propose your name when I write thanks :)
I'm gonna wait even if it's a bit frustrating but i don't want to be denied a replacement if the new neck doesn't...
Little update:
PBG are going to send me another neck as the actual one does not meet their quality standard. Hopefully it will get here as soon as the first shipment.
Now I'm eager to start...
Nice thanks.
I'll measure length again on both sides before doing any work.
Thanks for the replies.
Those are great advices.
I'm relieved, everything can be fixed with a bit of work.
I'm maybe gonna ask for a replacement nut, between the removal and sanding to round...
Hi,
Doing a mock build, i realised that the nut is mounted upside down (don't know if that shows in the picture).

Is it easy to get it off and reglue it correctly?
Also, when i put...
Thanks Simon,
I'm quite reassured on the fretwork and rounding the nut should just do.
For the body, i was thinking of a dark purple burst dye. I guess i could just fill the hole and do a...
Hello there,
First, i must admit that I'm impressed how quickly the kit get here. Ordered last Tuesday, already here in Switzerland.
Now the kit in itself. First time I got a kit. There's an...
Thanks
Nice saying.
I'll just try to not rush and enjoy the work.
It seems so.
And this forum looks like a goldmine of good advices.
I didn't even receive my kit but every question I can think of is already answered here.
Yes that's absolutely what I was talking about.
I didn't thought about flexibility.
I was wondering about the neck rest design.
Do you guys think it can be carved in a more aesthetic and ergonomic shape?
I ordered the GMS-7F.
I know it's maybe not the fittest choice for a first build. I also read the other thread about upgrades and pickup replacement.
But for the price, i thought i give it a...
Thanks Simon.
I was browsing the forum and it seems you're on every thread.
I'll be glad to follow your advices when needed.
