That’s some very tasteful relicing @ubit, nice work.

This was the first guitar that I built. I wasn't too sure about getting a really nice finish, so I painted it and distressed it. I'm quite happy with it and it plays beautifully. Wilkinson pick ups. I bought the bits online and made it up but my next build is going to be a Les Paul from a kit. Im using the kit for the body and neck but I have ordered Wilkinson humbuckers and I will get electrics from KiOgon over on bass chat. I will keep you posted.

Hey all so I just love throwing myself in the deep end, so with absolutely no real experience at all I'm looking to build a kit flying V. Buuuut I am not just intending on doing your basic kit build, where's the fun (pain, stress, misery) in that?! I've bought my own pickups, Seymour Duncan humbucker set (SH4-JB and SH2-N) and I also brought some sheets of diamond pattern metal...my intention is to use the supplied plastic pickguard as a template to cut a new pickguard. The main colour is going to be a distressed, dirty sort of grey and then I'm going to look at getting the metal all dirty and patina'd as well. Really it's not that original, just saw the Schecter V1 Apocalypse

OK - here's one of my recent lightweight builds. Built for my sister-in-law at 25" scale length and 5lbs 3oz total weight. Amboyna top, oak back (from her late mother's mantlepiece), maple/purpleheart/mahogany neck :
