Hetfield Uncle Milty (Iron Cross) Les Paul Custom Replica

[phrozin]

When the kit arrived I gave it a once over and noticed a few issues. Luckily they weren't going to affect the finished product. The flame maple veneer had the joint line skewed and off center, but I'll have a solid black finish so no big deal there. The binding work was rough around the cutaway. This was easily scraped down though.



The shape and binding on the headstock looks pretty good. I straightened the neck and checked the frets, which were pretty level. That was a relief since my last LP kit took a whole lot of work to get playable, and even still has to have high action.

his is a custom isnt it with binding on top and bottom of the body is that a pit bull kit ? who did the binding on the head-stock and the Gibson shape

It isn't a Pitbull kit. It was from Guitar Kit World before the last redesign of their site. In addition to their custom kit orders, they had a few in stock kits including a Les Paul Custom copy and a Ken Lawrence-ish explorer (that I wish I would have ordered too). My kit does have the 7 ply WBWBWBW binding on the top and bottom of the body, and came with the 5 ply headstock binding and headstock shaping already done. I wouldn't be surprised if they got a warning about doing that.
