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.
