Hello The Fretboard, thought I would just go through the creation of my DC Junior Checkerboard guitar.
It was purchased as a kit from Precision Guitars in Canada.The main thing about the build is that it is was quite simple to do and has turned out really well and plays and sounds superb.
Here is the ageing frying pan with tuners and bits going through the time machine
The parts are from WD Music in Kent.Thanks for your help Ben and Dan.
The mahogony body was and neck were grain filled before spraying and the I sprayed straight on with Manchester Guitar Tech Vintage White.Thanks Steve Robinson for paint and advice.
Here is a first coat mock up .I always get excited to see what it may look like. Scratchplate from Miser Neil.Thanks for advice Neil.
Headstock very D.I.Y but that a deliberate tactic to keep away from the fake Gibson world.Also inspiration from Loic LePape DC Steel Juniors.They have a distinct charm which sets them apart.
The finished guitar.All aged parts and a brilliant Mojo dog eared P90.Through my Marshall 1974 X.Very Nice.
Thanks for looking...

Play and look great, I got the paint done by other people rather than attempt myself.

Crimson do Kits but they only do Strats, Teles and Les Pauls
Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.
