- I recently finished a Precision Guitar Kits X-Type build, so I thought I would share a little of my experience with the entire process. I am very happy with the end result! I think it looks and sounds great!
Thanks for giving us a look at the DIY build. I'm taking notes and going for it soon!
I like your style man! Go for it!
Cool build and great distortion tone you're getting!
Thanks Luke! The Boss Katana is an amazing amp!!
You did a great job on the build, and it turned out beautifully! Really something to be proud of!
I have the same kit, and want to do an amber stain on it also, when time permits. Hopefully it turns out half as nice as yours. I agree the layout of the tuners are definitely too far apart, makes the trees a necessity. Other than that, the kit is top notch!
Thanks for posting the video and sharing the steps you took on the build & finish!
@@trip866 Thanks a lot for your comment! It was a bit of a challenge, but I’m happy with the result! Cheers! Marty
I'm also taking notes. Thanks for sharing your experience!!
Thanks man! Also check out the kits from Stewmac if you live in the states. You get a lot for the money! That's gonna be my next build I think
What a beauty! I’m glad you put your name on it. I want to build one almost just like it. Making a parts list now.
I agree, it could have been a little bit more yellow, but I think the finished product looks just fine, as it is. I’m worried about getting the finish right, myself.
In my search, for what I want to build, yours is at the top.
Thanks for your comment ! If you want anything question answered I would be happy to help. Marty
It’s a very tricky process and I can’t guarantee success on your first attempt. This was my 3rd and I am about to start a new project after the summer. Sometimes you can get confused with all the different tutorials on CZcams.

That’s awesome! I’m sure I’ll be back to ask. Especially about the finish.
I used to mess around and mod guitars, when I was a kid, some 45 years ago. I’d swap out, and sometimes add pickups, change caps, and add resistors. I know the hardware & electronics. I’ve just never used a finish. I always just spray painted them. Lol

I’m curious what your next project will be…
@@whyis45stillalive My next project is a LES PAUL build. I got a Stewmac kit, and my intention is to do a Slash Appetite for Destruction model. But that's gonna be a fall project, summer is coming and that's the best!
Sounds excellent
Thank you very much!!
The way guitar prices are now, you’re better off building your own.what did that run you? About 1700? Not a bad deal at all. You built a Gibson and saved a grand.
@@geneevans7885 somewhere in that range I think? The more you do the better you get at it. I’m going to do a Les paul model after the summer and I am looking forward to that. Thanks for your comment
Marty
epiphone nuts supposedly fit
Will an actual Gibson pickguard fit properly?
@@TheeIronJedi I don’t know if it will, I tried to get one on eBay but was not successful at it. Thanks for your question!
Marty
Man, it looks great, but you spend a lot of money on that.Instead of buying a gibson and then you put a gibson logo on it you could have just bought a gibson
Thanks for your comment! I think I might have exaggerated the amount just a bit, probably around 1500$ in total. A Gibson is a lot more! But I still love it anyway!
Cheers
Marty
