While I wait for my first build to cure, decided to refurbish the first guitar I built from kit. I got it from a music store in Queesldand via Ebay shop..I Wanted a Les Paul with glued in neck and this was below the $150 mark...My budget at the time.Got it last Christmas. PROS...It was cheap..The Neck came pre glued, which I thought it wouldnt, so that was a bonus...All the holes are pre drilled so in one way it is a easier build then PBG..CONS...Body is crap, see photos...3 peice body made from Paulwina...Neck 3 piece...So this can really only be a sprayed job which is fine...
Why refurb??? Well I was a total Noob...Didnt know what spray to use...Used both Enamel and Acyrlic!!!! Learnt that dont work...I rushed the curing and pretty much everytime I played it I got paint on me....So now after joining the Forum go to start again on this build.
Also I wont to play with the idea of splitting the coils and installing coil taps....I plan a Jem SV-1 build later in the year with vintage Jem wiring, so thi will be good practice...Also I will upgrade the wiring on this build to All parts.
