    Hurrah for clear coats. Always the easiest coats to apply IMO, plus it means that you're nearly there!

    Yeah, must admit I am not a fan of binding either.

    How is the size of this one Dedman, is it an exact replica of a LP with F holes cut in it?

    Cheers, waz

    Thanks buddy. Keen to know how it sounds once strung up, both plugged through an amp and unplugged, as if I were to build a semi hollow body or hollow body this is definitely one of the final 3 contenders. Just wish it came with a standard TOM bridge and tailpiece same as the LP.

    you could order it that way Waz, or add the bridge yourself as there is plenty of wood up the centre. It's Super light, much lighter than my LP and lighter than the Jnr. I'm itchin to hear it too.

    Yeah, the lesser weight issue comes up a lot on the reviews which would make it more comfortable to play standing up plus smaller than ES335 too.

    I find full size hollow bodies too thick, my Gretsch is weighty (centerblock). My 2 favs to play at are the Jnr and the Strat but not happy with the sound on the Strat, might build a classic version later. I'm hoping to get a kind of Jet look and sound out of this but the budget didn't run to TV Jones pickups

    Know what you mean. I have been eyeing off the GRSF1 for quite some time and your comments echoed my thoughts in that they always look too big and clumsy and by the time you pimp them up with TV Jones it becomes quite an expensive build.

    Leaning more towards RC-1 with P90's as that looks an easier kit without having to feed things through the F holes. Always other priorities (bills mostly) that keep delaying making that decision.
