I told you about the guitar kit I assembled and finished:
I noticed the seller (on e-bay) sold several kits, but he had consistent complaints about no instructions. I volunteered to write him directions for this guitar and another one I wanted, if he'd make me a good deal on the other guitar.
He said what he really needed was instructions for a different guitar. I told him to make me an offer; he sent me a free kit.
Here it is:
I discovered very quickly why he needs directions. Unlike the other kits, almost none of the holes are pre-drilled. And it has a Gotoh style stop-tail and Tune-o-matic style bridge (well, 2 of each) for which the mounting holes have to be drilled very accurately, so I'll have to create a drilling template. On top of that, it's not wired like the Gibson it's copied from, so I'm going to have to do the wiring schematic on my own.
What it should sound like:
