I'm assembling, cutting out, and painting this in my tech class. I'm planning on painting a sunburst effect with an airbrush.

It's expected to come saturday.

This is the stock body and kit.

A tad blurry but you can make out where I'm cutting the headstock.

Also, if anyone wants to know, it is a Saga LC-10.

You already know what colors you're going to use?

Yellow base with a red burst.


Looks like it will be great. I dont know a lot about all the parts of a guitar but I love playing them, ones you built yourself are always the best. Good luck.

Thanks. After reading the reviews it looks like the wiring is less than perfect, and I might not be able to contend that, but I've been woodworking in school for three years, so I think I can pull out the body. I've only soldered a few times.

Looks like red base with yellow burst if you ask me. As far as I know burst means a sort of a splash.

PHHHT go with a seven string. You'll get more range.

Welp guise it got here today. I'm going to get some pics.

Best part is that I only paid for two day shipping.

Edit: Also Demian, it is a yellow base with a red burst.

Burst = explosion of some sort. It's "exploding" red.

I saw the cut off part of the title and I thought you said you were making your own guillotine.

But a guitar is fine too. But can it decapitate someones head off?

If the headstock was sharpened to a spear point than maybe.

It's exploding yellow if you ask me.

Poopity, one of the tone dials is forgeted up. it's got paint on it or something, and I can't get it because it's under a clear layer of plastic.

shameless doublepost for pictures.

even more shameless bump.
