Just in case: if you use a fluorescent lamp close to the circuit, it can add a lot of hum. It happened to me several times, until I remember to turn it off when I am testing the guitar circuit.

Hey Mark, thanks for your comments.

Yes, I made some errors: I did not sand between dye coats. During lacquer spraying I had a lot of issues, some dye went out and it was a mess (the dye which...

Hi guys,

The water based lacquer finish is complete, with some problems. During polishing I was not able to reach a completely flat surface, and some orange peel is still visible when you look...

After some weeks busy, I started the finishing. Initially I wanted to keep it simple and apply the lacquer by hand, using a cotton cloth, but soon I realised it's more difficult than spraying. I...

I am building the same kit! It looks good.

Mine also has a big gap between the neck tail ant the pickup cavity. After gluing the neck, I have a gap around 5 - 6mm. My fingerboard is not perfect...

The glue spots were gone or half dissapeared, after the Goo Gone and wirebrush technique, plus the "sandpaper damped in stain" technique. The back of the guitar now has no white spots, but it's not...

Thanks guys, I didn't know it could be glue or filler, but it makes sense. It is in some areas near the binding, where they must have used glue. The rest will be just a couple of drops from the same...

Hi guys,

I have problems with the staining: some dots in the back and another areas in the side edges are not coloured. I can't manage to impregnate colour, and they remain almost as original...

The epoxi wasn't good and never dried, so after a few days I took the inlay out. I bought a better epoxi and this time it hardened in a few hours. After drying and sanding, the result is OK! Maybe I...

Hi guys,

There has been progress!

The frets are now levelled. Due to my inexperience, I took too much material out from the frets, but I think they are levelled. I still need to crown them...

Hello everybody,

I would like to show the progress. I filled up and re-drilled stoptail holes, because they were too loos for the Schaller bushings. Maybe I will have to do the same with bridge...

Yeah, it's a tool I found in amazon: http://a.co/8TbXrQF

Seems wood, but it's made of highly compressed foam, very sturdy and smooth. The rounded part allows you to stand in angle!

Thank you guys for the tips. You're right Simon about the top: it's really thin specially on the edges of the guitar. In the volume knobs holes I see only about 1 or 2 mm thickness of the top. I'll...

I received my PRS kit some weeks ago, and it looked great at first sight. I like the flamed maple top, and overall it looks promising! I plan to do some upgrades, like a Schaller bridge and stoptail,...

Thank you all for your welcome. I will start soon with the building diary, as I already began to do measurements, mock build, etc.

Cheers!

...I salute you!

I am Alexis from Barcelona (Spain), and I recently bought a PRS kit. I couldnt' find any kit that I liked in my country, so I decided to go with Pit Bull Guitars. Besides, I like...
