    Newbee from California. Hello.......

    Here is the last guitar I have built my first Les Paul in mint green.
    It took me 4 weeks to complete mostly paint job. $170.00+upgrade parts.
    Just ordered a guitar from pit-bull will start on it as soon as it arrives.

    Welcome to the forum Captain.

    Curious to know which PBG kit you ordered and whether it will green too?

    Cheers, Waz

    It will have to be green, the Captain is from San Diego.
    I'm told everything there is green, the green stuff just rolls in across the border :-)

    Talking

    Well happy days to all you guys and gals down under and over the top and thanks for the kudos. I have had the privilege to visit Australia back in 1969 during that pesky war in the Nam.

    I ordered the RCM-1 mahogany version will be in Australia on Fridays shipment .
    I haven't decided on the color yet as I need to EYE ball the guitar in person first. Yes we have alot of Algie floating in the water here in San Diego i just dipped the LP in the water and got that mint green color. Hope to talk to all of you soon, more when I get my new guitar, happy sanding. Cap.

    P.S. I have talked to lots of guys from Australia on my ham radio in years past, on ten meters.

    If you visited the Texas Tavern when you were here on RNR you would most likely heard the mighty Phil Emmanuel in action, Nev Nicholl's Country Playboys had quite a long residency there in those years.

    My dad did two 18 month tours with the AATTV between 67 & 72
