killer PRS kit Tony, some nice touches to make this one different

[Arzi]

Great looking piece of work there Tony. Beautiful combination of colors and very nice consistent grain on the back.

killer build Tony you really made the most of the flamed cap. So glad I'm not entering this month so many awesome builds

It's taken close to 4 months, but I've finally got it done! My first build, and it's taught me so much, have loved every minute of it (even if some of those minutes were spent yelling some pretty colourful words!).

My Spalt Maple LP Kit.
Undercoat: with ebony Timbermate
Finish: Dingotone Coolangatta Gold
5 (I think) coats of stain
3 Coats of intensifier
3 Coats of finish

Upgraded:
Tonerider Generator Pups
CTS pots
Orange drop caps
Gotoh 3-way switch
Switchcraft input jack
and (mostly) cloth wiring

I can honestly say I have been absolutely blown away with this kit. My expectations weren't all that high as all I wanted was a decent guitar that I could mess around with in my room - so long as sound came out, I would have been happy. What I got was a real quality guitar, I am so stoked with the Toneriders, their tone is unreal! I had the frets levelled and re-seated by a local guy in Melbourne and he did an excellent job for only $80 - John at Shub Guitars. She plays like a dream and isn't too hard on the eyes either
I've had a few issues with the Dingotone not trying properly thanks to the cold weather we've had here over the past few months, however, again, John has given me a solution for that too.
