PickyPick Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 In need of money I sold most of my guitars... the only 4 that remain are my 2 Gibsons and my Epiphone SJ 200CE... anyway I discovered that guitar fetish sells guitat kits and I found a les paul kit for $200,,, has anyone ever worked on these guitars? If so how was your expierence working with it? And what are some tips, also found out that this one is a set neck instead of a bolt on which seems like a aplus to me... anyway thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaSTuS Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 No idea about the kits, but there Xaviere line can be had for about the same money, already assembled, many have GFS pups installed too, and the blemished ones are usually much cheaper than $200.

PickyPick Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yeah I saw those guitars too but im more interested in a hands on project and im not exactly ready to cut wood and shape them into neck and bodies so I prefer a kit for now to get started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaSTuS Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Just had a look, and they have first condition LPs for $140, pre-xmas blowout, that's outstanding value. Pre Xmas Blowout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyGibson Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Could be an interesting project. I always wondered about making one too. Then decided, based on my skill level as a player, my building skills came in even lower. So I gave the idea up. A friend of mine has a few kit guitars he's bought over the years. One of them he even bought all the parts individually to put it together. He thought it would be fun to build them. Each would be a good winter project. They're still in his basement - unassembled. If you have the time and inclination to build one, definitely go for it. I've read where others really enjoyed the process and learned a great deal. And wound up with a nice playable guitar.

damian Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Could be a lot of fun........I usually ask Gibson and Epiphone to assemble my axes....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickyPick Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yeah bit it seems one of the draw backs are the quality of these kits. I've seen other sets and to be honest I really like these for their set neck, everyone else seems to have only bolt on les paul kits. I don't like bolt on necks that much so, maybe ill even learn now to add binding if that hasn't been done to the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
