I got some good news earlier today and I've been pondering this pretty much all evening. In less than 24 hours, most of the stuff I've been trying to sell has been spoken for and left me with some new gear money. My first thought was, "Hey, get an SG standard from AMS since they dropped the price!" Still an option. Then my mind drifted to, "Why don't you go ahead and do something more hands on since it's been awhile?" Then the Warmoth Strat idea popped back into my head. Upon thinking of that, I realized I'm going to have the money to order the neck and body, and that's going to take 6 to 8 weeks, so back to the other stream of thoughts.
Then this came back to bite me in the butt...again. I can see man-in-moon facepalming already.
Paul has been super about answering emails. I've read some reviews of his work and it seems to be on the level workmanship. It could be one sexy guitar if done right, so I'm really leaning towards taking one of these on again. At this point, donahue1 is saying "would you make up your dam mind already", since we've discussed this over and over.
ErikH posted a link awhile back that had some kits that were really close in shape and materials to real Gibby spec, but after 3 emails of asking the guy if they offered a lefty kit, and no answer, I won't be dealing with them.
I am kind of worried though. It's not like a Warmoth build where you just screw everything together. Gluing the neck in properly really bothers me.
