Yes I’ve been keeping an eye out for a PRS One korina or TV Yellow but they are like rocking horse poo! Also a bit above my present budget. Thank you for the idea though.
Either way, get a kit from one of the reputable guys off here and then spec as you desire.
I finished mine in tru oil, did the whole walnut stain, tru oil and satin sheen finish. It’s come up real well. Pickguard is genuine celluloid from @IvisonGuitars who’s an absolute gent to deal with, @Alegree pickup, cts vintage taper pots from @gavin_axecaster, kluson tuners and faber bridge to finish -oh, and a gator hardcase. Needs a better set up than I can do, but I know when it’s done it’ll be a blinder.
Here’s a link to the finished guitar:

Apologies op for hijacking your thread, I’ll get back in my box now.
away on over time ...
I’d say it was about £650ish and then the case on top. There are probably a few smaller hidden costs (tru oil, sand paper, etc) that take that up to closer to 700, but I’m ignoring those and not telling the wife!!

Chinese made, so not sure how good these are. Maybe not much of a muchness between these and the Custom 77 or Vintage brand ones?
