PRS - 1TS - First Build

[Slayer666]

what is the 2nd kit you ordered Slayer ?

LP-1S - gonna go for a natural stain inspired by Zandit's excellent build!

[Slayer666]

That colour looks amazing dude. The flames have popped really nicely. Will look amazing with some hardware!

cheers,
Gav.

Thanks Gav, keen to get to adding the hardware, but as we know, patience is needed!

next build sounds great Slayer, you can't beat a spalted veneer. Remember when sanding the cap wear a dust mask, last week DB posted a thread about timbers that were bad for the lungs

Thanks for the heads up wokka, will find the thread on that!

NO doubt you've already seen plenty of comments about the LP-1S, but just remember, the veneer is stupidly thin, so take it very careful when it comes to sanding it.

Ciao intendevo i pickups compresi nel kit,tu metti quelli di seymor duncan quindi quelli compresi nel kit non sono di buona qualità? Questo chiedevo,forse sceglierò tra quelli disponibili nello shop,anche se non saprei quali.

Ma poi la finisci con smalto alla Nitro? che sembra sia quella che dona più bello effetto finale!

They work, but like most pickups that come with low-price guitars, they can be improved upon. You don't have to spend too much to make a big difference in sound quality, which is why a lot of people use the Tonerider pickups. You could always start out with the kit pickups and upgrade afterwards if you wanted to, as it's not hard to change pickups on a Les Paul style guitar (though harder on a 335-style).

You should be able to find a local dealer for Tonerider rather than import them from Australia. Here's the Italian dealer: https://www.facebook.com/traffico.ritmico/
