    First build but 3 guitars

    Hi all,

    We have received shipment of 3 guitars in Feb end.
    One GTL-1, one DMS4 short scale bass and one PB4 bass.
    These are being built for 2 friends and the tele is for me.
    The swamp ash body I got is heavy, pretty heavy. Compared to that the mahogany bass is lighter and the basswood one of course !

    Lookin to set up build diary over weekend.

    Cheers from India

    It is most likely not swamp ash, swamp ash is light, ash is much heavier.

    Three kits at once sounds like fun to me. Are these your first build?

    Yup, 3 guitars .. and we have currently finished 2!
    The P bass and tele are done.
    Tele intonation went well and I am really happy with the outcome.
    Would have liked to post pictures but I don't see any button to upload here.

    Cheers.

    The photo button is the one that looks like a little painting of a tree.
