That cutout shape on a Les Paul looks so cool. Lovely finish, to boot!

they are mightymite pickups that come in our "kit" the kits we get are all rough cut out so we have to do all the sanding, fitting, soldering, fretting, and assembly to complete the guitar.

Very Cool!! My daughter has been getting after me to build a double neck 6/12 with her. I have been looking at the kits out there. Is it a fairly straight forward build?

I've got a couple of builds underway (numbers 20 & 21)- a Les Paul type bass for one of the guys here, and a headless for myself. One of the few joys of living in a tropical country is that the scraps and offcuts from common construction timbers tends to be rather nice wood for guitar building.
