I bought and built one of these about a 1-1/2 ago then sold and I have truly regretted it. I can't wait for this to show up, hopefully I can have this done and set up by the beginning of April. Stayed tuned for my thread on the build.

Very nice! Thats a deal! That ought to be fantastic after its finished. That top should really pop with a nice oiled or natural finish.
Yaeh. I'd like to see the progress on this one. Good luck with it.

I always love to see what people do with LP builds, I'd love to find a decent one and customize it to my specs.....

The finish is going to be just your basic LP finish, Cherry red on the back and lemon yellow, with a orangish/ red band on the maple top. All aniline dyes of course so that way when I expose it to sunlight this summer the red will fade to that ice tea color that we all drool over.

The good thing about this guitar is 1: it's a real mahagony body and neck a real 1/2' flamed maple top, not maple with a flamed veneer top. 2: He has already set the neck, reamed for the tuners, drilled for the tailpiece, bridge and ground wire, set the nut and roughly slotted and shaped it. All I have to do is finish it, wire it up and set it up.

I like that. Congratulations and good luck with it. I wish I could put stuff together like that and paint/stain it.

I can't fly a plane either. Should I just jump in one and go for it?

Yes. Spread your wings a little bit. Where is your sense of adventure, Jolly?

Also, building a guitar won't kill you if you mess up... I would hope.
