Chilli’s gday Stone temple pilots!!!🤘Not sure on that last one though….. the go amp is awesome in the van at lunch break👍

Looking good. I’d line to see that heel again after the sanding rework. I am going to get one of these kits myself soon.

My neck is loose in pocket, can I shim and if so with what. Thx

Not sure about using the wood clue in that neck joint. If you ever need to remove or replace the neck it could be too difficult. Traditionally hide glue is used there. It can be heated to soften for removal. Is it a set neck or bolt on? LPs are usually set dovetail joints.

Is it really zebra wood? Looks manmade.

Is it real wood or particle board?

Clear for sure

So in honest opinion are they good musically? I’d love to do these as a hobby, but good enough to bring to the Jam nights ya know? I really wanna try one and possibly way more if they’re decent

I'm glad to see someone build a kit "as is".

Think the zebra fretboard is a little too much zebra. Lol!

bright green stain

What did you use to cover the fretboard up when clamping?

That looks awesome!! Can’t wait to see it done!

I’ve been thinking of doing one of those zebra wood kits and I was thinking of amber stain

Probably why it doesnt stan near the binding is probably due to glue leak age from when they glued the bending. The glue creates a lager that the dye wont penetrate

i tried using my charger bc i dont have an adapter and it didnt work 😃😃😃😃

I think it’s the popping noise

There were times I should have called it good. Sanded through the veneer so painting the face. with 2k spray paint....

I'm in the exact same spot you are. I have that grain filler too. I 'think' you would use the grain filler if you intended on painting the guitar because it fills the pores. There would be nothing for the stain to 'soak' into. Mine has become a 'trans amber' top and I plan on leaving the body natural mahogany. I'm using a few light coats of tru-oil to make the grain pop as well as tint the mahogany and then gloss the entire thing with solarez. If you want to get a preview of what the dye will look like glossed, rub it with Naptha. It will clean the dust off and it evaporates quickly so it doesn't raise the grain. The areas where it won't take dye is likely glue that has seeped through the veneer. You could gently scrape or file those areas and spot dye them. I ran into the same thing especially on the headstock.

Great video. Huge shame on Positive Grid for their update process which is horrendous and confusing. This video shouldn’t be needed, but sadly it is. And even worse, i watched this too late - bc who would think you’d need to watch an entire video of what to not do when updating a device. Now my spark go is completely bricked bc i used the wrong software to update. Doesn’t respond to any button presses or show any lights etc. waiting for spark support to get back to me.

Is this company legit? Kinda looks sketchy

wtf

Where's pt.3? Hmm you have up. Smh

I came here for the LP kit to see the finish. As you did this unboxing, it reminded me that I did a diy fret leveling tool using a square dowel, double sided tape and various grit sandpaper. Worked great when filing back the razor sharp fret ends. I ran it length wise along the fingerboard at the fret-ends.

Did you ever finish this? Edit: guess not. Saw it hanging on the wall.

For that top i would have stained it the navy first and sanded it back. Then work the other colors from darkest up to lightest.

What happened to the pangolin les Paul kit ????

Use pieces of old t shirts to apply

In color, if it is lighter right and darker left, do the light blue color to its left end, then the next color (darker blue) Starts at its Left end point and works to the right . As it gets closer to the lighter color , you are running out of dye on the rag and so it is getting lighter (to match). Same with black at the left end : Start at the left end and work towards the lighter color (in this case, the darker blue) Left to right to add color , right to left to make it darker.

Rit dye raises the grain ? Then, water the wood first, raise the grain yourself, then sand it to your liking. Then Rit won't raise the grain 'cause YOU already did !!

The problem with compressed air is that the compressor is "Oiling" and "Watering" the air it blows and that residue is then imbedded in the wood grain. Not Good ! One MUST have a water/oil separator on their compressor or it leaves a residue.

You could hear a difference, and it sounded like it was better before your update

Way to go brother. Just tell it like you hear it. No need to make stuff up. People will hear what they want to hear. You deserve a video award for posting this. There's no difference and if there was by the time your daw and youtube are done compressing it nobody could hear a difference. Thx.

I didn't have a good experience with them. I wanted a Steinberger GM2T body but routed for a Floyd Rose and painted white with black binding. They said it was already routed that way. I had to send them pictures of a guitar body with a Floyd Rose rout. They consider any floating tremolo to be a Floyd Rose. Anyway, after a few emails they finally got what I was getting at. They said it would be ready in about 45 days. Four months went by and still no guitar body. I only had a couple of weeks left before it would be too late to file a claim with PayPal to get my money back so I opened a claim. PP contacted Pango and the next day Pango tells me the guitar is almost ready (I've been told that several times after 45 days from placing the order) and to give them more time. I felt this was a stall tactic so time with PP would run out. So I didn't stop the claim and they said if I don't, they'll send the guitar as is and they will never do business with me again. So they rushed the build and sent me a bare wood body with white binding and they didn't drill the holes for the bridge posts. I made a video about it and they saw it and emailed me asking me to take the video down. Their website said that if you make a YT video, good or bad, or mention the purchase on Facebook, they'll send a $15 refund. I never got that. When I brought it to their attention, they sent me a link that they made up just for me. It said there would be a $20 refund for a YT video. There was no mention of Facebook. They have sent me a few emails asking me to remove my video. I have not. Long story short, they get bitter when you call them out on their crappy business practices. I ordered the PWT-716 kit without hardware but paid $55 extra for paint and Floyd Rose rout (and I explained the post holes needed to be drilled 74mm apart) They only refunded me $30 for their mistakes.

Will spart take a real pedal effx?

This is ridiculous. I bought the most expensive mini amp on the market and it's not even complete. I have no idea what any of the terms you are using mean, I don't own a computer, and why was this thing allowed to leave the factory like this? I emailed positive grid and they said I had to get in line and wait, and that if I emailed them again, it would put me further back on the list. I would never have bought this thing if I had to finish the manufacturing end of it. Horrible product, atrocious company, they should recall these things and fix them at their own expense.

Why do I have to update anything on something that costs twice as much as anything comparable on the market? Why was this allowed to leave the factory like this? Now, im out of town, I don't even own a laptop, I damn sure can't program one, and I'm getting better sounds plugged straight into my 10 year old tascam 4 track, which I got for $50, free delivery, than with this peice of junk. Fuckin firmware put a couple of effects in there and call it a day.

I heard the update seemed to have less bass.

I learned quickly, that Aquacoat really needs to be sanded before dye…..I ended up with shiny spots, which I had to sand off, and stain again…..

Why would a firmware update change the sound. That would mess with all the tones people have already created. I'm pretty sure the update would be for anything and everything except the sound. Bluetooth connection can be sketchy on mine and I haven't updated so hopefully that's an issue that has been fixed.

Stop with the CONSTANT different camera angles, very annoying.

IMHO gluing on the neck before finish is a mistake. Prior to gluing, you can make rather big corrections to the finish. After, it becomes difficult or impossible to selectively change stain.

After the update the guitar has more treble with the first example. Maybe it is because the camera microphone and the amp weren't in the same exact positions for each demonstration.

I thought it sounded much more clear and bright after update - just listening to your video.

Love the picture of Christ in the background.

Your guitar needs a proper setup. 👍

I think the tuning of the guitar is not spot on - sorry 😐. Still love your channel 👍❤️👍.

looks good brother vest!

So if you haven’t got a pc or Mac you’re screwed ?

I am looking at this exact kit! My daughter asked me why I havent built her a guitar yet, and this seems like the best option for kits. I was considering replacing the pots and switch with something that could put up with the abuse a young kid could throw at it. Other than the frets needing dressed, any other concerns or issues that really stood out? Does the hardware seem decent enough? Also turquoise is a great choice!!!!
