Another something different...

Hello All.
Not necessarily a kit but had to be sanded, finished, frets dressed a bit and assembled... Came out OK and sounds real nice. Willie is happy with it too. ES-335 "kit" from Robert Olson. Nice guitar, just not a whole lot of "building" to do. Onto Mark's Dread...

Sincerely,
Rich

so what do you think of the end result. I hope you can post sound clips. It looks nice and I hope sounds as good as it looks.

Rich,
You're doing some real nice work.

Thank you. I appreciate your words. John, I think it is a beauty!! It sounds nice and Willie has played the crud out of it since I strung it up... I guess that is how I "judge" the builds... If Willie plays it a lot, then it is a good one. If he just reaches for it every once in a while (the red Strat I built him), then it is OK. He has yet to play mostly anything else since I finished this one. I will get a sound clip up soon... Thank you again for all of your help and support.

Sincerely,
Rich

Nice job Rich, very professional looking

The 335 makes him look much cooler.......

Hello All.
Thanks for all the kind words and comments. He has 2 guitar solos in his school's spring concert this year and he said, "Dad, could you get the strap buttons on the 335 because I want to play that one in the concert this year..." I must have a "thing" with strap buttons... I still haven't put the second one on the Martin kit I built last year... We are a little busy but I will get a sound clip up soon. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Rich

beautiful guitar. I love that finish. I saw the red strat too! Great job. I did a 335. I was afraid that I would ruin it with a color so I just spray on a clear lacquer.It's ok ,but I wish I tried to do a red finish
