I'm super excited to see the finished product, Brad!! It's scary how similar we went on hardware selections, but they were slightly different. I guess great minds do think alike!!! Cheers, brother!
Love the gold hardware. It's a good choice as it tries in the amber and will look great with the beautiful green-blue finish. As always beautiful work Brad!
F I N A L L Y ! Love your choice of colors and finish as well as the gold hardware (very spiffy) 😊 My forte is electronics...I'd offer my services, but alas, I am happily retired. This has been a great, if "strung out" project, but as always all good things take time or as my dear Gramma used to say, "Rome wasn't built in a day!"
As for electrical. It is fun trying different components and wiring from scratch. Sometimes you get stuff like blade switches which are not the same in terms of lug assignment and have to troubleshoot. In the end no magic. The issues are simple in their cause even though the symptoms are complex. I usually get a bit annoyed and scratch the head at first then I remember my own statement about simple in cause, complex in symptom.
I wish I had made a bet on gold. I would have won. I put gold hardware on deep burgundy-ish lacquer on my auction guitar and the gold is beautiful. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Hey Brad, I know gold hardware gets a bad wrap many times heh…. But honestly I think it looks awesome on a green guitar man ( It also looks great on black or white too imo ). Looking forward to the finished product, Babisch hardware is also off the hook too as long as you’re not looking for an OEM look. I never tried this brand on the Gibson style set up but I do have one on one of my Warmoth Tele’s and it’s a very nice bridge to say the least 🤙 Great choices man.
Beautiful guitar Brad! Are you still going to do a video of refinishing the tele body you showed briefly in a past video (a black burst red tele body), I have a similar one I'm going to refinish and I am really looking forward to that series. Keep up the great content!
Just received my precision guitar kits LP today. Pretty happy overall but the "flame maple" neck i received for a $100 upcharge is a joke, as is the "flame maple" headstock veneer i selected. The one in your video is worlds more flamey. Also was surprised with the sloppiness of the routes as PGK is supposed to be known for everything being near perfect
The routes on mine were fantastic. I’m surprised that yours weren’t. The wood is a bit of a different issue. I’m not sure how things go with flamed necks, but I suspect it would be tough to find neck pieces that flamed.
I glued wooden dowling rods into the pot holes, made a card template and drilled new holes for my obsidian to fit in, I Stripped my vintage 100 lp and made it work and in process of doing it with my coban guitar kit now, have subscribed and sorted notifications to alert me when you do a new vid.......not getting notifications ???????? Came across the video just
Hi Brad, I am very interested to see how this ends up. I got a similar kit from PGK. I am wondering which nut you went with? I was looking at Graphtech Tusq Nuts, but I could not find a preslotted one that matched the dimensions of the groove on the neck.

I was thinking that gold would be the perfect colour for the guitar, and low and behold, you picked gold. Gonna look great.
Cheers Kyle

Haha indeed they often do. Thank you.

That is a cool color front & back.Your guitar is gonna look wicked good with the gold hardware.
Thank you
Looks great brother. I like the color you landed on way better than the beginning! Excellent as always!✌️&💙 The rail hammers are killer!
Thank you Todd
Not usually a fan of gold hardware but this is going to contrast really well ...I'm following the build 👍
I know the guitar was a kit, but when using gold hardware I think using the Evo gold fret wire really finishes the look! - Can't wait to see her done!
Yeah that would be cool
Some Beautiful Products it’s really gonna Look and Sound Awesome 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
Thank you John
Pretty sure you could put the gold knob onto the switchcraft toggle switch. Otherwise, very nice hardware choices, going to look sexy
Looks like you've solved the interlacing problem.
I have no idea what was going on there. I’ll have to do some more tests with more motion.
I think you did well with the electrics. It will be nice looking and it should sound great.
Yeah it should definitely sound good. I love all these parts. I just done love assembling them haha.
Looking forward to the final demo for the sight and sound of it all. ✌️
its going to be fantastic,...... PGK's are an absolutely amazing company to get kits from !!!

Good on deep burgundy sounds like a great combination
@@BradAngove I’ll send you a picture on Patreon.
Awesome series Brad-as always. 👏🏻
Thanks Andy
Yes....my PGK had.......perfect frets. I mean perfect. ✌️

I think I still have the footage from that one. Did it a while back. I’ll check.
Hi Brad,I'm glad you're back, question have you ever put a Lp wraparound bridge on a telecaster body .
Might be a interesting video.
I haven’t. In order to do so you would need to either recess the bridge or raise the pickups and angle the neck.
@@BradAngove true but a good idea,if you Google the late great Rick parfaitt you will see it on his telecaster and Francis Rossi 's guitar.

RUclips hasn’t been delivering my notifications properly for the past couple years at least. I don’t know why.
Not sure myself I have to keep looking out as I'm missing alot. Gives me an excuse to binge watch on a Sunday
I hope you enjoy
hey brad! i was wondering if you could do an iceman guitar kit? that would be pretty awesome
I might be able to do one eventually. I’ve got quite a backlog haha.
In the middle of a precision kit build myself. Thanks for all the links. What truss rod cover did you use?
I think I show that in the next one. It’s a custom cover sourced by the customer.
Hi Brad, I am very interested to see how this ends up. I got a similar kit from PGK. I am wondering which nut you went with? I was looking at Graphtech Tusq Nuts, but I could not find a preslotted one that matched the dimensions of the groove on the neck.
That’s what I chose. A graph tech pre-slotted. If it’s a touch wide I will just sand it down a bit.
So you're not gonna darken the headstock to match the body?
No, I’m not doing anything else to the headstock.
Gold? Hahaha we waited like a year hahaha. All good. Only critique, you should put some aluminum-brass hardware (bridge) to do justice to the wood.
It has definitely been a long wait haha
Too dark. It looked good before you screwed with it again. Gold, 🤮
