AndyTravis Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Has anybody done one of these kits yet? They're £65.... Bought my lad a shorty left handed and had mates respray it and make a football themed pickguard, was well impressed for the £50 it cost me. Wonder if anyone had put one together or even completed a build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Tempting That's got to be the best source of necks with unshaped headstocks out there. If I didn't already have too many, I'd be buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sausage Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I've thought about it but someone said its a bit hit n miss with the necks! Which kind of put me off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, I don't suppose there's much harm in getting one, putting it together and seeing it's all useable before starting sanding and painting it...

Lord Sausage Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I'd probably buy better pick ups too if I bought one. Wouldn't be sure what to get though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a chrome cover too 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
