    Welcome Brian! I'm sure you and your daughter will have a great time building your LP. I did a build with my 9 year old son and it was a great experience. Start a build diary and the gurus here can answer any question you have. I'm sure you'll have a blast and finish up with a guitar you'll be stoked to learn on!

    cheers,
    Gav.

    Hi Brian, welcome. A few family teams here, as well as lots of supportive and friendly advice: based on those who have suffered through several kits before you.

    Hi Brian youll have a blast building it. It will be worth your time to read the "How to build your pitbull guitar" forum thread. Also, for many things, close enough is good enough so dont fret too much over a mm or two.

    Looks like you've hit a triple whammy Brian, you get to build a sweet kit (I'm just in the process of putting together a LP-1SS myself), you get to share it with your daughter and to cap it off you've got a great incentive to sit down and learn how to play the thing.
    Only problem is you'll have to build another one so you have one each.
    I'm only on build number 2 and a bit of a noob myself, but most of the guys on here have put tons of these things together and really know their stuff and are super helpful to boot.
    With the amount of collective knowledge in this forum if there's a question on here that can't be answered frankly it's not worth knowing.
    Best of luck.

    Welcome to the forum Brian, not sure if any forumites are from UK. Good kit to start on a set neck spalted LP. You might want to start considering what stain colours you are planning. Have a look in the gallery for ideas on a spalted top kit.
    You will have a blast building it with your daughter.
    Remember to start a build diary, start with a mock build when you receive it to make sure it all fits together and all the parts are there
    Ask lots of questions as there's heaps of help as others have said and yes building kits is addictive !
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
    Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck

    Completed builds
    scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
    Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in

    Welcome Brian, have fun with the LP, I started with a G type too!
    Start a build diary straight away and as noted before, do a mock build so you can see if everything fits and make changes if necessary before it's too late!

    Thanks to everyone, I don't know when we will receive the kit but I will post photos of the build once we start.
    Regards
    Brian
