Let's hear some details!

Did you order an LP style specifically, or do they generally do an LP style and you just picked it out?

Precision guitar kits do multiple LP styles like the one I ordered, this one has a tummy cut and the heel carved for more comfort. They also offer a dc les paul junior, teles, a v, strats... Etc

I put the first layer of Tru oil on this morning! Neck was glued with hide glue overnight, looks amazing!

Better pics later

Nice. My SG Jr is a kit from them. I would easily get another one from them (pending the funds to do so). Good stuff.

Amazing, I love the looks of their kits, they seem to be very well manufactured...

The neck fit perfectly into the pocket, the carve is breathtaking and the woods top and back look like they grew together

Second layer of tru oil on... The grain is popping and she looks more and more amazing

Another update: disassembled "Beauty 1". She was made of good parts but alas she was an Epiphone and it's time for me to move on.

I will be using the same wiring harness although I'll clean it up a bit before putting it in "Beauty II"

Parts for her all laid out

Love the way these knobs look, very vintage. Also notice the selector switch label...

Tone pros nashville style bridge with nylon saddles and of course a bigsby tailpiece

The body might be up for sale/trade if anyone wants it

Nice. I've been eying Precision Guitar Kits for awhile now, just haven't had the extra money.

Looking forward to how this turns out.

I've been nothing but impressed so far!

Update! Got the third coat all dried up, did a little mockup before sanding

Wow, gorgeous body there. That's gonna look fantastic once built up.

Re: Project Time : Les Paul Content

Wow that looks awesome. I built one of their LP kits about a year and a half ago and the quality is spectacular. If it's anything like mine it's going to sound and feel AWESOME. Love the natural look you've got happening too. I want one of their neck/belly carve kits, but first I wanna build one of their V's ....

Re: Project Time : Les Paul Content

So far I'm really happy with how it's turning out. With the fourth coat on and after sanding it's getting smoother and sexier by the hour

Nice. How many coats are you going to put on?

I want to do a V kit from them next.
