I just bought this kit: http://www.fastguitars.com/index.php/gu ... ilder.html
African Mahogany body and neck
Ebony fretboard
NO inlays (I really like the clean look of a fretboard without inlays)
2pc Eastern Flamed Maple top
Standard headstock shape w/ maple veneer
Flame Maple neck binding
For the appointments, I've purchased:
Duncan JB and P-Rails pickups
Graph Tech Ghost bridge piezo/midi pickup system
Graph Tech Hexpander and Acousti Phonic electronics to go with the bridge
Sperzel Tuners
All gold hardware (the Graph Tech bridge in gold was way cheaper so I went with it).
Utilized the Musicians Friend 20% off any single item discount for the Graph Tech electronics bundle, then another discount for the rest of the electronics/hardware.
I'm thinking I'll document the assembly and finishing on RT. I'm super excited--have always done Partscasters but never done a set neck build or guitar finishing, but I've stained/finished furniture so I don't expect it will be that much different. I'm planning on doing a stain then either wipe on poly or a tru-oil exterior.
