    TLA-1 My Frist Build

    Hi all,

    I am starting the process of building a TLA-1 guitar kit. (Birthday pressie for my son). I have attached a picture of the "kitchen table" mock build for all to see Ha!. I have started the sanding process on the body and will be shaping the machine head in the next few days. I will be using the Dingo Tone clear finish so to enhance the natural timber grain.

    Hopefully all will go to plan without too many issues. The kit looks well made and with any luck on my part it should turn out great.

    I'll keep you informed of my progress,,,,or look for a lot of HELP ha!

    Regards,

    George K

    Nice looking grain on that kit George. Looking forward to seeing how the DT clear brings it to life!
