The 2 guys sulking about their kits would be the type that you couldn't please no matter what you did. We had a retail business for nearly 20 years I know these sort of guys only to well.

I have heard about this happening and was warned against using the final coat because of this. I would wipe as much as you can off the guitar then give it a light sand. Try letting it dry again and...

Yes, although a different TL kit to yours my bridge was out and needed moving 3mm towards where the control plate goes. The original holes were covered by the bridge. I glued tooth picks in the old...

You boys are a lot more organised then I was on the same build.. ;) Great diary and photos too.
I used about 1/4 - 1/3 bottle on the neck joint. I wiped off a fair bit after though.

Shame about...

I bought a set at Bunnings and gave them a go. They will cut but it is very slow going and you need to push the tip cleaner down over the nut with your finger. They will do to get you out of trouble...

Thank you again for the great info McCreed!

That's good info thanks McCreed. Would you have a link to air brush gun that you would think would work for guitars? Thanks again.

As I mentioned before in another post, the kit I received needed a 3mm shim in the neck pocket as well. I ordered a Wilkinson bridge for my kit and when I assembled it before paint the saddles were...

After you get the intonation right. Double check the string alignment by putting in the 2 E string tuning heads and running a couple of strings to the bridge. As I said, mine was out around 4mm....

I have the same kit and started on it a few days ago.
Yes, I trimmed some of the pick up route out with my Dremel.
I fitted the neck so it was inline with the neck pocket after I rounded the...

Lol.!! They really make you wonder!
Funny you should mention that, I did see guys talking about the Classic Vibe guitars coming out with Toneriders.

Thanks for the tip re: shielding. This is the...

I will give it a go McCreed, It's not a lot of money if I'm not happy with it.
I went with these pick ups. The guitar will be mainly used for the young blokes recording....

Saw that too McCreed, the same with the Ash Tele. It's got me worried, usually I'm the one that goes to click on buy and find it's out of stock.
Thought the same with the staggered saddles. It only...

That's good to know vh. I did run into the same problem with my first set last year. Then switched the offset to the middle of the headstock. This set is right though and it was still breaking...

That's very strange, when I email them I get a response no later then a hour. That's correct re the extras, if you order a upgrade whether, it is tuners or pickups etc you will get the original that...

Thanks Simon. I did check and ordered this one. It should do the job... https://www.pitbullguitars.com/shop/upgrades/wilkinson-bridge-for-tl-gold/

Thanks Simon!

Good point Simon. The instructions with the tuners aren't the best from memory. I can't seem to find any worth while instructions online.

Thanks Simon. I did run a oxy acetylene tip cleaner through them all but never gave them a 3rd chance. I have a set of gold ones coming with the next kit. I will run the tip cleaners through all of...

Hi guys,

Has anyone else had any problems with Grover 406C breaking strings? I've had a couple of sets of them that break a 9 thou and 11 thou strings. I've tried a couple of different ways of...

Thanks again McCreed! Some informative reading there.

That was a very informative video thanks McCreed! I've gone for a 3 saddle bridge knowing if I can't get the intonation it will drive me nuts...but that's how I roll. Definitely going to go with the...

I bought DT for my first build, about 7 guitars back. Even the first coats took forever to dry. The colour turned out great though. I was concerned about using the final coat on the neck and body in...

Thanks as always Simon and McCreed. Haven't been back to my PC for a couple of days. Thanks for the great info! looks like I have a bit of homework to do..
