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.

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!

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. 🙂

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.
