Great job on the video. This is the best video review of a diy kit i've seen. You should do a natural or very light stain for a finish.

with my 335 build I'm going balls to the wall with it. swapping out the set in neck with a bolt on Birds eye maple tele neck, along with some M6 Schaller tuners. for the bridge I'm going with a floyd rose 1 bridge while swapping out the bridge that comes with the kit. and lastly the pickups, the pickups that come with the kit are not wax potted(They will feedback and that's something that I am not going to have happen on my watch), So I'm going with some wax potted pickups for either a LP, SG or a 335.

Hi Tony. I would go with an oil based, hand-rubbed, rich translucent brown or walnut colored finish (matte) for body and neck. This should enhance the natural wood grain. Can always fill the grain first with black stain, then sand back. Incidently, I enjoy your channel. Stay healthy and enjoy this guitar build.

Great build project, please don’t paint it black, give this guitar a personality with its own beautiful color, since it has some flame in the grain why not a red or burnt orange flame look with maybe a light hint of transparent see thru black around the edges, that would make this guitar pop, do the same to the headstock and put your own custom logo on the headstock.

Hey my good man, I would go with a bamboo tint on the body with a brown walnut stain on the neck an a bamboo tint on the headstock, if you would like to check out this tint, look up a fender telecaster custom bamboo edition, my buddy has one an I really enjoy that color, it’s a lively color with a nice contour which brings out the grain and detail but not so much leaning towards a natural tone but more with a off yellowish vintage outlook. So check it out see what you think , 🤔 laters -keep on strumming 😸🎸☮️🎼

I'd #1, refret ! . Then build it up with gotoh hardware, good pickups and good pots and jacks. Pick ups?? Maybe get some stewmac vintage parson streets. Sound clips are really good! The hardware looks like junk!

Yeah, it will all depend on how the finishing turns out. If it looks good then I will invest in new hardware if it doesn't then I will use what I have and flip it. To be continued...

Kit Suppliers, Please stop including the crappy hardware. I doubt many are building a kit as a first guitar, and anyone past their first guitar wants quality components. Offer a cheaper version that does not include hardware, or a more expensive version with name brand parts.
