@revolverhades23 Cool!!!! I finished it in about 4 weeks total. I took my time in fitting the neck to make sure it was in line with the bridge. That was the most important part so my strings would all be even with the neck. With my kit the neck was a little wider than the pocket...so fitting was critical......Have fun and make sure you show me some pic's or vid...

@alexis221woodworks thanks man! we decided on how im going to build it, and all the little things, its gunna be metallic silver, not as much shiny as just a bright silver, and then we are going to make a dime plating faceplate and i ordered some seymour duncan dave mustaine live wire pickups for it, because i am a big megadeth fan, so yeah it should be a killer guitar if i do it right!! how long did it take you to build it if you dont mind me asking?

Hey, looks like it turned out pretty sweet. Another thing you can do is recess the volume/tone knobs. That way If you're like me, you don't keep turning them down by accident while playing. They always seem to be in the way.

By: 80jeff. on 07 Mar 10, 02:54:09
The finished build looks great! I'm thinking about picking up one of these. I was just curious about the bunk neck angle, specifically-how did you check it to find out it was bad, and hows your action with 3 degree's? I assume you just routed off the neck pocket to get the fingerboard flush? I believe these kits come from the same factory as the "Tenayo's" , as I had a LP copy with the same missing grounding wire channel-that was a fun surprise. Anyways beautiful work!

By: theonlyxero. on 19 Feb 10, 10:04:56
I was just curious as to why you taped off all the holes... was that to insure a proper fit of everything? I've built a couple guitar kits my most recent being the saga flying v and from what I've noticed about all of them is that they're a pretty decent guitar but you absolutely have to adjust just about everything. I was going to get an explorer kit but I cant seem to find one anywhere. Where did you pick yours up?

By: parkerbob99. on 18 Aug 10, 08:56:50
@alexis221woodworks I mean as in the whole guitar is once piece of wood. like the neck and the body aren't glued together but just one whole thing. my Warwich bass is one piece, and I was just curious. thanks for the feedback man. means a lot :) what I was thinking about was using the epi and just creating a one piece template and doing everything from scratch out of a nice big hunk of wood. Im going to keep it natural and not paint anything, but just put a wood finish on it.

@alexis221woodworks ...
By: alexis221woodworks. on 18 Aug 10, 01:38:06
@alexis221woodworks The hole placement for what ever kind of bridge you will use would have to be done once you have a neck is in place and depending on what scale you will be using......so you can measure properly from the nut to get postion of the bridge.....so I would hold off on using the hole placement from you epy to your new explorer.....Thanks and have fun...

By: alexis221woodworks. on 18 Aug 10, 01:37:44
