    In terms of the modified Pick guard bracket, what did you do?
    Thanks mate
    All I did was used a vice to grip the short end and bent it into an obtuse angle (I'd say about 100-105 degrees) and then bend the top inch or so of the long end that has the sliding adjustment back to square with the short end hope that helps!

    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.

    Well done Shazz! Yes I'm afraid this is the point where the end of one kit is the beginning of another.. But don't let that distract you from your new axe that your not too far from plugging in and cranking up!

    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.

    Ah rightio, I didn't see that LP you posted, lol, good colour choice though, what about getting gold hardware to go with the purple?, would look awesome.
