Yes, everything is put on exactly as it should be. Awesome Job.
I'm also keen to hear about the logo's they look terrific!
the labels look very genuine as though he's put a real Gibson neck on the axe

Oh, and whilst I am at it, it would be nice if folk started to put their own logos on their guitars!
You built it so claim it as yours!
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
That's why I thought they went facing the Bucker, cause I saw a tiny groove and a gigantic groove!Quote from dingobass on April 8, 2013, 15:59
Works either way.... Sometimes I put em the screw side to the Bucker, other times towards the bridge. Just depends on my mood and the quality of the grooves in the saddles.
I have only ever put my logo's on my scratch builds....but since being told off for not doing so I will make some other plan to keep everyone happy!Quote from wokkaboy on April 8, 2013, 16:00

Yea, I will start doing my own logos soon!
There's just enough about that build to convince me it's not a put-up job - the neck pup rout peeking out from under the surround, and the little bit of roughness on the bottom edge binding; and the fact that Jess registered as a user back in December. Otherwise I'd be calling troll!
As it is, that's an amazing job. I'd also be very interested to hear about the headstock, that looks to be mother-of pearl inlay for the "Gibson" logo! Recycled neck?
For everyone wondering about the headstock, I'm assuming he has just used a headstock overlay, like these

If you buy a NOS one it will cost around $100 from what I've seen...
Hey Everyone!
Thank you for all of the compliments!! This was my first build and such an awesome project.
The neck is from the kit, the decals are from online, around $30, i debated for ages weather to put them on but I am getting a custom truss rod cover with my build date on it.
The burst, I have always wanted to do one of these! So, I stained it teak. Then sprayed the outside with red spray paintif i can figure out how to get some photos on here again without starting a new thread I will, I am so pleased with how it turned out! I would love to try the wudtone. Will have to give it a go on my next one.
This is so addictive... Next is a bass guitar, anyone got any heads up on which one? I am quite liking the Hofner Violin Bass....
Happy Building Guys!
Jess
The only answer to that is YES! Definitely build another kit, and maybe even have a fully documented build diary this time, so we all know what you are doing!
For the basses, it should really be up to you, pick whatever looks best to you!
I am blown away with your work with the sunburst! it looks absolutely awesome!
