Chrissy's PRS-1TS

I'm sorta happy with it Waz, don't regret doing it for one minute, the back and side stains ended up darker than what i wanted, then the top with the glue marks showing through..I've just decided that as this one (for me) hasn't turned out exactly how I wanted it, so it will be the one i do my first fret level on, before going onto the 3 kits I've done I'm happy with, don't want to cock one of them up....

Know what you mean as the quality of finish gets better after you have done a couple of builds.

Glue spots are a bummer. They're what's keeping me from being fully happy with the finish on my MM1. It's all been a learning curve for me. Maybe it prepares us for making great guitars in the future.

I only have one build with binding and a flame maple veneer and glue spots is a major reason why i have steered away from doing any more of them.

Solid Ash, Basswood or Mahogany only come with glue lines that may need a bit of attention but otherwise usually a safer bet.
