Thanks for the great content. I've just finished the DC Kit and my experience has been much the same as yours. The fit and finish on these kits really is amazing.

It's a great kit, I will be upgrading the wiring and pickups at some point just for a fuller more defined sound

Sugestion for color I would paint it cream/vintage white like a lp custom, it would look awsome specially when that fretwood looks so dark the contrast would be great.

I am thinking to build the same kit with a purple sparkle finish, filling neck pickup cavity and turning this into a modern metal machine with only 81 in the bridge and one volume pot. But inlays might ruin the modern look, so not decided yet...

Woow very nicee! Thank you very much ! Well made ! Any possibility to install p90s normal ones and pots? The pick-up gap would be large for p90s I believe I mean not the humbucker sized ones. Thank you

I bet when you play this guitar it vibrates in your hands more than a Normal LP would, as it doesn't have so much finish on it. I would leave the body finish the way it is, as long as its sealed it should be fine. When it comes to the neck, I would possibly stain it just a little darker to match the body and put a satin finish on it on the back. The headstock I would likely just leave it alone finish wise. The tuners I would upgrade, and the pots and caps I would upgrade, and I would ensure the nut was in good shape, it would be the last thing I might replace, the key word is might. Maybe the three way if I felt like it honestly, oh and I would put some pipe tape or plumbers tape/thread tape on the polls that screw into the body, both sets of polls. I don't like my guitars to rattle at all, and I find that when I do that it increases sustain a bit and how much the body and neck vibrate... Its one of those upgrades that I can do to all my tom bridges because I have thread tape laying around the house lol. So it costs me hardly nothing, and if I don't like what it does I can easily undo it with no harm no foul. .. I might stain the neck darker to make it look like Roasted Maple, I do honestly like the look of Roasted Maple lol.

Was wondering what happened to your videos, Rob. Not getting notifications here. I know when it comes to painting bikes the more powdery the primer the more it fills pits, and without running. As for top costs seems that Deep Purrple Royyal Crown Sparkle is all the rage. Johnny Marr would approve re the paint..but too bad it's not a Fender-style product. ...ha
