Hello everyone,
This week my next (3rd) kit arrived, a beautiful gst kit. Nice ash body with a really nice Jatoba fretboard.
My plan with this one is to have a finish similar to the below guitar. I’m going to use the Shou Sugi Ban method to darken the grain and Karijini red dingotone to get the red look.
I’m actually a day late on starting this thread so I did a bit of work on it yesterday. These two body modifications have been on my wish list for a while and they work well on this kit- a larger arm contour and a reduced neck pocket heel thingy (what’s the proper name?). I’m happy with the forearm contour, that’s just smoothing out now, but the other I went further than planned due to a large sander. I hope it grows on me and hopefully it looks fine once sanded smooth.
