And the comments - quite a few guitars so its taken some time to get the results back...
Shr1mpy’s PB-4
What a great Vintage amber stain with satin finish. Love the bass job here the neck is straight and true and I'm sure I can see some sort of veneer on that headstock. Amazing first build, tidy effort.
Nice and classic and simple – what’s not to like! Good consistent colours, nice shiny finish – overall great guitar.
A nice, clean, classic PB. Great first build and definitely has that 60's feel.
Top effort for a 1st build. Nice colour choices and there is some really interesting grain on the headstock but it still needs a logo.
A nice traditional build. I like the colour choice, sets off the pickguard well. A good straight forward bass, nice job.
Fretworn’s AST-1FB
Fretty this thinline strat is just built to be played. Gold stain top, natural finish on the back and neck, love the ensemble. I bet that tremolo is second to none and joined over those toneriders to a tusq nut to those grover tuners, this would be a tone monster!
I love the look of the back and neck. The top is great, but I think the red pickguard detracts a little for me. Nicely finished and excellent upgrades.
Mix of colours doesn’t do it for me. Nicely finished and work done is great. Being super picky (need to in this comp), the only issues I could pick was with the headstock – the logo hasn’t blended in as well and rounding off of the headstock is a touch inconsistent – but these are only minor.
FW Golden Teak finish always look good and works well with the gold hardware. Love the headstock shape and elegant logo. Lots of tasty upgrades too. Not a fan of the Red scratch plate and reckon pearl white may have looked better.
nice slick build, love the subtle but cool headstock logo. The amber tones work nicely with the red pickguard and gold hardware. Some nice detail on the flame. Eye catching without looking too busy.
Booooooom’s RC-4
Nicely finished! Love the use of the RC style bridge as well, while keeping the other components. Colour is nicely done and consistent. Overall effect is good. Personally keep the bridge pickup cover off – it tends to get in the way if you’re playing fingerstyle.
Blue with white plastics really suits these RC's, it looks fantastic. Although, with blue under any oil I worry it may green up over time. Nice TRC and great overall look. Are they the stock strings with the thick wind short of the nut on the E?
This build is simply stunning. The stain and satin finish are, for me, jaw dropping The white scratchplate sets off the blue stain. Its extremely tidy work. I hope to see more of this work in the future Booooooom.
What a stunner. Blue is such a hard colour to get right and you nailed it with plenty of Ash grain on display too. Bonus points for Truss Rod Cover and personalised logo plus custom made single ply scratch plate.
These basses always look the business, and this is no exception. Love the blue, it goes so well with the white and chrome. Cool logo! A lot of work here to make a great looking bass.
Paolo’s GR-1SF
The GR's just look classy, even the lefties. I love the colour and look of the finish, and a great headstock face. Strangely, the custom pickguard doesn't quite work for me, not sure why. Very nice first build.
Nice personalisations with the pickguard . Colours all sit together nicely and the overall effect is awesome.
Nice to see a lefty pop up. What a slick machine - that two tone style finish looks traditional and classic - this will always look good. Smart use of roller bridge with the Bigsby. Love the wooden pickguard. lots of work here and it shows, super nice build - you need to put your name/logo on it!
Paolo this build is understated and gorgeous. That wiring is a job in itself, you;ve done a really great job wiht the set neck and custom pickguard! look at it!. Sorry points off for using furniture stain on a guitar as awesome as this, but it still looks awesome.
Very subtle antique look and vibe going on here. That headstock is awesome and your own logo would add the finishing touch. I like the rounded off truss rod cover as most kit ones are more angular and can look harsh. Kudos on the custom pick guard too.
