      That's awesome, they're great fun to build. The neck and body are decent quality, The electrics would be worth upgrading eventually.

    Sugestion for color I would paint it cream/vintage white like a lp custom, it would look awsome specially when that fretwood looks so dark the contrast would be great.

    I am thinking to build the same kit with a purple sparkle finish, filling neck pickup cavity and turning this into a modern metal machine with only 81 in the bridge and one volume pot. But inlays might ruin the modern look, so not decided yet...

    what are weakest parts that would need an upgrade ? What would you suggest to put on to make it better ?
    Electronics, bridges, pick-ups, machines ?? changes for something not very expensive, but that really worth it !

    Woow very nicee! Thank you very much ! Well made ! Any possibility to install p90s normal ones and pots? The pick-up gap would be large for p90s I believe I mean not the humbucker sized ones. Thank you

  • @lfaf9509
    @lfaf9509 2 роки тому +1

    I bet when you play this guitar it vibrates in your hands more than a Normal LP would, as it doesn't have so much finish on it. I would leave the body finish the way it is, as long as its sealed it should be fine. When it comes to the neck, I would possibly stain it just a little darker to match the body and put a satin finish on it on the back. The headstock I would likely just leave it alone finish wise. The tuners I would upgrade, and the pots and caps I would upgrade, and I would ensure the nut was in good shape, it would be the last thing I might replace, the key word is might. Maybe the three way if I felt like it honestly, oh and I would put some pipe tape or plumbers tape/thread tape on the polls that screw into the body, both sets of polls. I don't like my guitars to rattle at all, and I find that when I do that it increases sustain a bit and how much the body and neck vibrate... Its one of those upgrades that I can do to all my tom bridges because I have thread tape laying around the house lol. So it costs me hardly nothing, and if I don't like what it does I can easily undo it with no harm no foul.
    ..
    I might stain the neck darker to make it look like Roasted Maple, I do honestly like the look of Roasted Maple lol.

    Does the ground wire need to be soldered on the bridge or It can be "free" like you did in the video?

    I know how I would want it personally, black body, neck and headstock with the natural top. Then I’d be able to pretend I was Mick Ronson.

    Was wondering what happened to your videos, Rob. Not getting notifications here.
    I know when it comes to painting bikes the more powdery the primer the more it fills pits, and without running. As for top costs seems that Deep Purrple Royyal Crown Sparkle is all the rage. Johnny Marr would approve re the paint..but too bad it's not a Fender-style product. ...ha

      Double check your notifications are set to all, UA-cam are great like that 🤣
      I do like a purple guitar, usually I use filler primer for added bite and smoothness

    Could the feed back because there isnt anything behind the pickup to keep the vibrations from over acting. Like gold lin lay under the pick ups
