Thread: Tla-1th

  1. #1

    Tla-1th

    SOLD

    Another custom kit the factory messed up (last one).

    This was an order for a TL-1TH with an Ash body, no routing and a maple neck with a skunk stripe. No pickups or hardware.

    Unfortunately, it was supposed to be a lefty.

    It's a nice looking body and neck and it's up for grabs for AU$160.

    Free shipping in Aus, AU$59.95 for International shipping.

    I really wish the factory would stop cocking things up, it does really play merry havoc with my GAS.

    If it's any consolation FrankenWashie, we did discuss this at length when I visited the factory. I now have a good understanding of how they work, so we've modified our custom order process accordingly.

    These 2 messed up orders were placed and made before I visited.

    So, I'm fairly confident we won't see any more of these "misinterpretations".

    I guess its a learning curve on both sides huh? Hopefully the new customer order page eliminates most of this for you.

    good kit for someone who wants to route a rear control cavity and won't need a pickguard then.

    UPDATE

    I contacted the factory to request a discount on this kit, as it was kinda pricey for a kit without hardware. They agreed to give us a small credit, which I've applied to the price on this kit.

    So, this kit is now $130 and it is now listed on our site.
    Cheers,

    that's a mega deal Ads, gee I am very tempted but glancing at my pile of unbuilt kits !

    this kit is ideal anyone who wants to have a crack at routing the pickups and control cavity before attempting a scratch body build.

    There are many options like a rear control cavity if no pickguard is prefered and could have any config pups

    As it was supposed to be a Thinline style, does it have a body cavity, but just no F-hole? Or is it an all solid-body?
