But at least you would know that it would look brilliant in every incarnation

Agreed.

TV White would of looked stunning with that grain.

Looks lovely

PVO_Dave · December 2014

I know the grain was nice etc.. but the plan was always to make this look like a Gibson Custom

Some more paint shop progress (white basecoat):

Deadman · December 2014

Gorgeous!!!

Deadman · January 2015

Indeed

lloyd · January 2015

That is one beautiful guitar mate....Thanks for making me GAS for one!!

PVO_Dave · January 2015

It's finished and collected! Only been able to play acoustically so far, action etc.. is great and it's a heavy ol' lump. So happy with how it turned out, I'll take my standard black background (guitar hanger) shot over the weekend, but more importantly plug it in!!

Going to post a NGD thread too, pointing back here

Great job, looks beautiful

lamf68 · January 2015

That is fucking immense!

DiscoStu · January 2015

Top job dude! Fuckin A!

thermionic · January 2015

If that plays and sounds as good as it looks... whoa.

Happy to report that it does! Plays great, the scrapyard dogs from @TheGuitarWeasel (Oil City) sound amazing

Couple more pictures that I didn't get round to editing and the standard hanger picture:

@jd0272 - How chunky should the neck be for you? This is pretty much on par with my '08 Les Paul Custom.

So happy with how this kit turned out, think I'm going to start saving up to build the Flying V version.. rude not to with a spare Chloe inlay..

Thanks for all the comments everyone

@PVO_Dave it would nigh on need to be a full inch at the 12th and just under at the nut to 'engage' me thru a build with a view to eventually gigging it.

But, as the seller hasn't had the courtesy to reply to my email (but sends sales emails!!!) Im going to save and get me a Potvin. Eventually

Glad you like the pickups mate! Always chuffed when something I've made compliments something as tasty as that!

That's a shame @jd0272 - I just crudely measured (ruler next to it job) and it's pretty much bang on that size! No excuse not to reply though.

@theGuitarWeasel - very happy Ash, they sound fantastic clear, or with tonnes of dirt

Howdy, Stranger!
