Thread: First time build L/H bass kit

  1. #1

    First time build L/H bass kit

    This first build I have never built a kit before but my background is model making, and painting so hopefully it will help.
    My build will be a tribute to Phil Lynott from thin lizzy
    This what I’ve done so far

    Hi and welcome.

    Nice artwork. Seems like you're doing fine so far.

    Mirror pickguard being fitted?

    Looks great. Very Shiny. Is the artwork painted on the guitar?
