Great finish and colour. Love the custom truss rod cover.
Dark & stormy green finish all over which looks great. Cool headstock logo and a pointy custom truss rod cover.
Great blue burst! Nice gloss, well put together. Sterling effort, I bet that thing is heaps of fun to play.
I also like the way it changes colour in the light. Great flame poppage too. A couple of rough points though like the truss rod cover and the final coat but over all a pretty solid guitar!
One of those colours that looks different every time/place you see it. I love the light-dark transitions on the back of the neck, very nice. And, definitely prefer it when the body colour looks more blue in the photos. A nice clean build, but I'd like to see the fretboard get a scrape and nice oiling.
Stoksy TL-1A
Radical looking headstock shape plus additional cutaway on rear of body. Very antique looking and quite a nice shade too.
Not a huge fan of relics, but this is well done. Lovely patina on the pickguard. The cutout at the rear could have been a bit smoother.
It's definitely a custom build, with some full-on mods. The acid washing and ageing look great, as do the cuts and scallops on the body. The headstock looks great but the severity of the cut out makes me concerned for its strength and longevity. The worn, dusty colour really suits the build. Wild.
Team Jeffos FS-1
Holy dooly! Pretty! Great choice of colour and upgrades. All the fine details have been handled very well. Beautiful job!
Great shade of blue with plenty of grain still showing. Nice touches on front & rear of headstock but feel a set neck should be same colour as the body. Plenty of useful upgrades too.
I'm not really a fan of the FS, particularly the headstock, but this one has come up beautifully with the Azure Lagoon and Amber Wudtone. Great shimmer on the flame top and the more subtle grain fade on the back works well too, and the backs are always tough with this type of colour. A more discreet loom to better hide the wiring would enhance it further. A clean, nicely finished build with great logos and decals, topped off well by the Alumitones. Excellent.
Dedman DM-1S
Nice kit and top notch upgrades. Dedman is becoming quite the expert assembler. Excellent quality as always.
Dedman’s signature build looks good with some subtle understated elegant ebony control knobs and custom timber truss rod cover. Baby Grand Piano tail piece is the show piece along with the hot PUP.
My brain doesn't know what to think when I look at this: it's a V, no it's a DC JR, it's spalted, it's got a baby grand and motherbucker! All the typical Dedman touches and attention to detail with the little extras done to correct/hide any blemishes in the kit. I'm finding the headstock face a little dark compared to the top of the body. It works well with the back and back of the neck, but not as much with the top. Interesting switching options and it just looks like something you'd grab and play.
Big Mikes JRM-1DC
Nice vintage style burst, suits this kit very well. Looks the biz through and through. A logo would finish it off perfectly.
Colour scheme screams Green Day Punk Rock all over. Nice headstock sticker but no logo yet? Handy upgrades too.
Love a double-cut. Great save with the neck, steaming and re-gluing is not for the faint-hearted. I'm digging the faded black on the back and neck, but the top's burst is a little severe for my taste. I think it looks better from angles/lighting where the fiesta appears a little darker as it helps with transition, but I do like that colour combo. The headstock face looks like the mahogany could have used some grain filling to smooth it out a bit. Nice build.
UIFS LP-1
Ooh! You don't see enough green LPs if you ask me. Good quality gloss and well assembled. Excellent first kit, hope to see more.
Another dark & stormy looking guitar that looks more green than blue. Interesting striped look on the back and like that shade of brown. Grovers are a sensible upgrade too.
Great colour on the back of the body and neck, and the flame of the top has come up nicely. Headstock shaping appears a little rough in the photos, but I loce the dark contrast of the headstock face. A great looking and well put together build. The fretboard could definitely use an oiling to nourish and enhance it. Excellent build.
Pohlacks PB-4
Love this classic take on a P. Great colour and the pearloid pickguard really sets it off. Love what you've done with the logo to make it your own. Bravo!
Looks great with the subtle burst and pearloid scratch plate. Love that the headstock is in the same colour theme and can only presume neck and body rear are the same. Looks like SD PUP upgrade too.
Wow, that really is an excellent sunset sunburst. A fading burnt orange that just looks amazing. To me, this is just a beautiful bass with echoes of years gone by. The headstock, fretboard and body all look to have received a lot of care and attention during the build. Classic, classy and I wish we got to see the back.
