Hi there Lads and Ladies,
Long time, no see, so I figured I'd better get back on the band wagon and start a new project (even though I haven't strictly finished the last lot...).
I bagged myself an SG-1F as a Sunday Special, and boy-oh-boy did I hit the jackpot. First up, the positives:
- there are no glue spots and no machine marks present on the body or neck
- the flame maple cap is pretty schmick
- the basswood body is phenomenal - flame running throughout, rivaling the cap for beauty
- the neck has an excellent profile - really thin (perfect for my widdle hands)
- the neck is the best finished I've received in a kit (we all know how much trouble I've had with necks) - frets are good, nut slots are low, fretboard is tidy - makes a pleasant change
The only negatives I have found are:
- the tuning post holes are not centred - the classic curse of 3x3 PBG kits
- the contours on the horns weren't done spectacularly well, but I should be able to remedy this
Overall, I'm pretty stoked - another fantastic PBG offering.
Lastly, I know how much we all love our pictures around here, so I'll get some up pronto.
