    Side note, did you see Simo has sold on Old Daze? End of an era there.
    I didn’t know that... since moving from his street, I don’t get down that way much. He had that car so long it’s a part of him.

    How do you finish a kit guitar? Put it all together, set it up and play it!

    I wired up the pickups and bits and pieces, and threw on the cheapy strings from the kit so I can set up the action, intonation, neck relief etc.

    The GFS vintage wound pickups have an interesting funky sound, can't wait to put some Elixirs on it.

    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.

    I’ve always liked the black body, maple fret board combination. Black dot inlays really suit it. I would be more than happy to own this one. Like Sonic M. I also like this kit.

    Edit: Sorry...Glurple!
