Here's a couple of pics of my PBH-4 which has a basswood body, bass doesn't have strong grain but can look quite nice.
This one has GFS pups and hi mass bridge, sounds most acceptable for what I use it for

Instructions come with the kit. Otherwise - have a look here: http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=5541 and http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=1895.
Looks great. What products did you use Dave?Originally Posted by dave.king1
FW stains from the shed that must not be mentioned
Maple for the most part and from memory Mahogany on the sides of the body, fretboard is done in citrus oil and the whole hit with carnuba wax and buffed
Juddernaut,
I'm in the same boat as you. I've had a guitar since I was in school 30+ yrs ago but it hasn't been played more that a couple times in all those years. Decided to learn some jazz guitar so I could some day play with my big band (I play trombone usually) and thought these kits and especially the support from the forum looked like a good way to get into it.
The TL-1 is my first kit too and I'm at the finishing stage (using the unmentionable TO) and it's been a lot of fun so far. Still the electronics to rewire/upgrade. I'm sure you'll do just fine - ask lots of questions - I sure have
.
Here's what mine looks like so far after 3 coats of TO:
Peter, are you going to do the copper shielding thing?
Yes, I bought a roll of 5cm x 3m copper tape off Amazon. Took forever to arrive (5 weeks) but it eventually showed up.
I know if it buzzes it'll annoy the crap out of me, so I figured for the extra $5 and a bit of time it was worth doing.
I'll wait until I've got the final finish on before doing the shielding as I think it's supposed to overlap the face a bit.
