    ES-1 - First Build

    My very first build. For my first guitar I have chosen a hollow body ES-1 Epiphone.

    So my idea for this build is to keep it simple. I'll be painting it gloss white and am thinking of either staining the neck and painting the head black.

    Looks like a nice kit. Good idea to keep it simple for the first one. Make sure U mask the binding and use a grain sealer so U get a nice smooth surface for a solid gloss finish

    All white with black faced headstock and gold hardware would look great.
