OK here it is... my first build, the LP-1M. Tryed my hand at doing a sort of blue burst on the top of the guitar with a nice mahogany dye on the back. Used Minwax timber dyes for both the blue and mahogany colour. Finished off the guitar with a good 15 coats of Tru-oil. Finish came up so well I didn't bother with cut and polish.
here are the last pics
Looks ace. Nice job.

Looks amazing Dave, great job man. That flame maple top is really nice, and you've done a really great job popping the figure! The hardware suits the blue colour perfectly.
cheers,
Gav.

Another awesome 'G' entry, love the blue burst great matching colour scheme all round.
hey I'm Ben from Melbourne I'm 14 and this was my FVB-4 kit that was my first build. I Was worried about how difficult it would be but there was great videos online that really helped. it turned out really well and was great quality and was a great alternative to buying a bass from the music store and I'm looking forward to the next build. hope i can be considered for guitar of the month.
That's awesome Ben you should be really happy with that. Can we please get a close up of the headstock and the back of the body.

Nice colour finish and looks great. For a first build that is an impressive job.
