Enjoy the experience mate, and DONT RUSH IT!
Welcome to the obsession Mick, you will love it!
Thanks mate, nah will live in its case (wife won’t let me). Your the only one to pick up on Melkor. The color was a complete fluke and turned way better than I thought it would. Used good quality...

Hello. Just finished this project. Hopefully you can see the pics.
Thanks, I got really lucky and it turned out okay but a lot of mistakes along the way. Will need to get the wiring sorted out and then try and get the set up right. Put some pics of my current...

Thanks Sonic, good to see Adams onto it. Figured it would be a manufacturing problem. Mine are out by about a mm or so, so I might have crack at doweling myself but I may stuff it up, I’ll see....
Sorry, yeah it is convex. Thanks Sonic, I will continue with it in that case. I was fairly sure the string tension would pull it back a bit but wasn’t sure if it would cause any problems. Just as an...
Hey, I recently got a ES 1L kit and I have gotten to the fret dressing/fling part (neck not attached to body as yet). When I looked at the neck it had a pronounced concave bend and to straighten...
Hello, long time no visit, but as xmas is now over its time to get back into it. Currently building a l/hand ES kit. Noticed that in order to straighten the next out I had to wind it up tight to...

I had the same problem Kick. I think the manufacturers are a bit slack when it comes to book matching the veneer and gluing them on straight. Adam needs to raise the issue with them because it...
Hey Sonic, I’ve been trying to post pics as per your directions and for the life of me I can’t sort it out. When you had a look at my last lot could you see all of them as a group.

Thanks mate! This has been an experience that I’m glad I took on. This one will be finished soon and then I can get onto my new ES 1L kit. This one will be a more natural finish, perhaps Truoil....
Yep, first one for sure.
Aha! If you can see the attached link it will show some pics of my project. A bit of info:
Gotoh tuning pegs, bridge saddle and stoptail. Bone nut by PBG, perfect! Some minor fitting of the strings...

Maybe not. Can't figure this out.
Here are some pics showing the finish and copper shielding in the wiring cavity.
Hello again all,
finally able to get back onto my little project which has stalled somewhat. I will post some recent pics soon but I have replaced some of the kit parts with better stuff, (pups,...
I got some decals made to order by Bedlam Creations in the US. Took a while to come back(about 2weeks or so) but not bad quality. If Adam is looking at providing this service that would be a bonus....
Gill, you will have many, many questions to ask here, and these blokes are the ones to ask. You will love building your first kit!
