Members newbuilder Posted June 30, 2009 Members Share Posted June 30, 2009 Zemmy and I have been palling around in that horrible OMG copy thread since he got to the forum. He has a really un-natural addiction to LP style guitars and won't stop buying them. So, he mentioned getting a kit and I mentioned that I would build and finish it free if he paid shipping and bought a kit. This gives me a chance to keep working on my finishing and set up skills. It also, worse case scenario, looks like even if I do a "meh" job it will be a cool guitar. I am pretty happy about the quality so far. For the price it is a great little kit, it even comes with sandpaper (one small piece), strings, and a couple of inches of solder. I will post my pics of the kit after I eat some dinner.

I will be working on this while working and fathering and husbanding, so it may be a slow thread, but I will post pics and progress as I go.

Members unistudent1980 Posted July 1, 2009 Members Share Posted July 1, 2009 Mate, I only point this out of concern but I suggest you remove your address from the photo especially if you have kids around. You don't know what sick perverts are floating around on the internet. Also It's a set neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
