    Can't believe I've just glued it! Almost at the end... Not quite sure how to feel :/ happy that it's almost done but sad at the same time... Is this the point people buy more kits?

    Looking great ShazzRandom, see, you're going to beat me to the finish line for sure, with regards to buying more kits, I think it's a given that some people will get bit by the guitar building bug hard enough to feel the urge to buy more kits, since I've had a fair few kits on my "To Buy" list even before I bought my first one, I guess I got bit pretty hard by the bug.

    I can't believe it took me 12 months to buy my first kit either, an LP kit for your next kit build is a great choice, I have a 2013 USA Gibson LP Studio in Vintage Sunburst finish, what finish do you reckon you'll go for with your LP kit?


    My next kit build is going to be a Telecaster kit and it's going to be finished in Dingotone Outback Sunset, don't know what scratchplate I'll go with yet, I might pop the grain with some Ebony TM if I get a Tele body with a nice grain pattern on it, we'll have to see.
