I really appreciate how, even though you've made probably hundreds of guitar kits before, you still do the first stain, and realise that you've done something wrong and have to sand it back again and start again. Makes me feel better about the 5 times I sanded down my first kit.

There’s nothing wrong with getting out the sandpaper and taking it back to a blank canvas.

I wonder what you’ll think of it after the amber, which takes it back to green a bit but reduces the contrast as well.

Brad, your videos have been my Bible as I have started my first ever kit build. This series in particular was instrumental in deciding which way I wanted to go with the colour choices, but also I went with a cheaper Chinese kit because I couldn't afford a Precision kit, so many of your other videos have been super helpful as well with dealing with blemishes, neck alignment, hardware installation, etc. I can't tell you how much I have appreciated your videos and your presentation style as I test myself with this new adventure. Keep up the great work!

Hey Brad, I finished dying a tele and using wipe on poly gloss. I got busy so it sat around for about a month before I hand rubbed with some McGuire's and used some Carnuba Turtle Wax. It came out really nice humbucker single coil humbucker plus I put an old Gibson Chet Atkins classical bridge on there with a LR bags Piezo which don't sound bad actually took it out the other night and just used it through the acoustic side. Still got to wire it up. After watching you the last couple of years I decided to take it upon myself and try to finish a guitar. Keep up the good work Bud.

Definitely going to follow the paint/finish work on this one. I've got a LP kit from Fretwire with a spalted maple cap that's been sitting around waiting for me to work on it. Now that I'm on short-term disability I've definitely got the time... I know I want to coffee stain the top, I want to make sure the spalting really sticks out though - and that's the part I'm not sure what to do, or if it's just the standard "dye black, sand back". Also need to figure out what stain or paint I want to use on the mahogany body. Love the work you do, looking forward to the next video. 🙂
@BradAngove

You should check with fretwire to make sure it isn’t sealed first. Most spalted top kits are, which limits the ability to dye or stain them. I have a series on a spalted top Les Paul from solo.

Hey Brad, you mentioned that if you wanted to do a natural binding, you would seal it with lacquer so the dye wouldn't get in. Should you do this as well if the guitar has real binding installed to avoiding dyeing it? Or would you be able to scrape dye off the binding without sealing it first?

I first thought the green was enough color and wanted you to quit there but have to admit the blue over it looks good and did not kill the green. Amber tint lacquer over this will probably green it back up a little anyway and this should even get better as the wood underneath it all slowly ages photochemically over time.

Hey Brad just wondering if you’ve ever done a Warmoth kit and how it compares to Precision? Thanks

@@BradAngove As long as you do all the finishing work like you’re doing on the Precision kit the price is about the same. The only difference is you have more options with Warmoth. It would be great if you did one of their kits. Thanks Charlie

I'm almost surprised you didn't put down a black dye first and sand it back to give the grain figuring that extra pop. But still, it looks pretty darned nice; I'm looking forward to seeing how the amber seal looks over that blue-green.

I don’t use black on the really nice flamed pieces. It adds contrast but gets rid of the chatoyance. It’s certainly an option for a more dramatic stripe effect.

dude do a layer of black and then sand it down. it makes the grain pop better. world of difference

The black sand back has its merits. That’s not quite the effect I was going for on this one though.

As much as I like blue, I liked the green better. I plan to do a guitar out of sugar maple and I will do a test patch and let you see it. with a black walnut fretboard.

Uhhh, BYOG also make high quality kits BUT ordered through the custom shop. Pick what you want but price wise about the same as Precision.

PGS makes a good product. But, man they sure nail you on extra add ons. Like stainless frets.
@BradAngove
@BradAngove 2 жыл бұрын
Fair enough. I generally wouldn’t get stainless frets. They are very hard to do any work on, and should definitely cost more (especially if you ever need them leveled, crowned, etc.)

Kinda looks like crayon .. LOL BUT again ... once you put a sealer ontop of it it may improve it more as you mentioned about doing a amber tinting ontop of it. I believe otherwise you have the basis of that 1 popular PRS color finish. Looks good !! :)

I’m not a fan of the “sand back” finish generally but your accidental guide coat dye job looks outstanding. Amber tinted clear I bet will really pop the flames. Amber clear also is a great choice for black Limba.

@BradAngove 2 жыл бұрын
The amber doesn’t really add much pop, it just bring the green hue back a bit and adds a bit more color layering.

Hopefully not getting personal just I have always wondered about the workshop.. is it you're own personal shop or business for guitars? ( looks like in background that other things that get done there too) Hopefully in a future video you can talk about it about that we cool , Apologies if there's an old video about it just always been curious
