can't hurt Andrew, Gavmiester lost a GOTM because he didn't put the truss rod cover on, he was waiting for a customised one

Ok cool. I'll do it when I get home from work.

Andrew, you made an awesome guitar out of that kit, very nice job and a worthy contender

[ponch]

Screwed it.

And here is a vid. Cab is miced with an sm57 into cubase. For the pup demo the guitar is dry, no eq or anything and for the pwd part, just highpassed and compressed slightly so it sits in the mix a bit better.

EDIT - uploaded the vid again with the correct audio channel activated

Ok...
After getting good vibes from all you guitarlovers during my build I enter my first guitarkit...
I took a look at the entries and i'm feeling not so sure bout entering anymore...

But the space has to be filled right?

My kit is an ES-2V
Used Chestnut spirit stain yellow over red and finished it off with 5 layers of Danish oil and a 3 superthin layers of Chestnut hardwax oil...
Tried to get a crack of burst-like thing inspired by the colour of classical instruments.
Hardware gold upgrade kit
Covers homemade with some padouk and 0.8 copper wire

I call it my "less Dave"

Less as in lesser

Dave, that looks so good, with some very nice custom touches, very worthy of being in the GOTM lineup
