Just Ordered A Precision Guitar Kit 54 Les Paul........................

[Jeffblue]

Years ago, I repaired a 58 Gibson Les Paul Special. Some idiot sprayed flat black paint all over the guitar badly. I stopped it down to bare wood, cleaned and reinstalled the pickups, electronics and pickups. This guitar blew my mind when I plugged it in. I almost cried when I had to return it to him. I asked if he was willing to sell it and he said no.

This new build is somewhat an attempt to recapture that sound, but I am limited by my lack of funds. Black limba body and neck, dual humbucker (someday I'll contact Seymour Duncan/Maricela to custom wind me some Antiquity or Vintage spec Phat Cats with Dun-aged magnets) for now, 59/JB humbuckers, ebony fretboard and headstock laminate, trapezoid inlays, jr. controls. Parts are stuff that I now have on hand.

Precision Guitar Kits workmanship IS amazing. I installed a black Graphtech nut, Grover vintage style open gear tuners, Schiller strap locks, CTS 250k (volume) CTS 500K (tone) pots, Seymour Duncan chrome covered 59 and black open coil JB pickups and an Electrosocket. I am deciding whether I should install a TonePros wraptail or a GFS SLICK brass wraptail bridge.

Unfortunately, I am one of those people that Photobucket is trying to extort money from. I am still using a flip-phone and not entirely tech savvy. When I figure out how to import photos into my computer, photos will be forthcoming.

Still have no pics. My Precision Guitar Kits custom 54 Les Paul sounds better than my modded 2012 Gibson Les Paul Supreme. More resonant, acoustically louder and sustains longer. Joy to play and hard to put down, I recommend Precision Guitar Kits.

That looks great! I love the back as much as any part of it. Have you put any finish on it yet?

I have wiped several coats of orange oil all over the body and neck and let it absorb. I like the feel of the wood "raw."

I wish I could get a correct ‘58 V kit
