I plan on building a Les Paul from a kit I have a friend who will actually do the work(assembly and finish) this is one kit I found and I need some opinions I am interested in finding the BEST kit out there wiring and pickups are not an issue my friend has access to factory wiring and pickups what I need is the body and neck any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi russ. good looking kit,I do hope you can get some help,maybe Jerome?
I'm jealous Russ!!!! I think when I am ready for an electric I will end up building a kit or rebuilding a cheap copy.
Check out these two forums. I've stumbled on them before and there seems to be lots of knowledge getting thrown around.

Hi Russ
Can't offer any help but I also am jealous. Being a woodworker I would love to build my own guitar. Would be totaly lost when it came to the electronics.
best of luck with the project
Jack
I may not have to build one I think I can use this and if needed replace wiring pickups and tuning pegs but I really like this finish I can always get another neck if I don't like the one that's on I am more interested in the body the price is very reasonable I am going to ask my expert who can set up a guitar really fine

Russ that kit looks good, GFS has kits also. If you look at Jx3's topic I put a bounch of links in it for that company. Why not find a pawn shop or buy that copy on amazon and just tweak it? ther is this option also at Rondo music : http://www.rondomusic.com/shadowcsb.html
if you just want a guitar to customize. Hope this helps
Looks like a blast of a project, Russell;
Don't know if this is any use, but the next guitar on my "G.A.S. List" is this bass by Ibanez:
http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/u_eb_p … ies_id=112
The thing I really like is that it has a very small diameter neck for fast fretting, yet still holds fantastic sustain because it has a 5-layer neck (sorta like plywood on its edge). This combo of jatoba & bubinga (African members of the mahogany family, I believe) makes it very rigid. It would make sense that a similar laminate style of neck for an electric would be more rigid than a single, solid piece of wood, regardless of species.
Have fun with that kit ... looks amazing!
I found something better and I don't have to build it its going to be delivered this week

Dino, Rhondo has them at that price and then if you look deeper they go up in quality and only slightly more expensive.
Ditto on Letting us know how they play!

Your welcomeLOLOL 
that's funny I didn't notice your link were on the same page these Rondo guitars are really good not just because of the price but the workmanship and playability and there's quite a selection to choose from I will put up a video when I get it

It is a cool guitar. I`ll bet the anticipation of getting it is getting worse by the hour
I bought my son and hubby both electrics from rondo a few years ago. They're still going strong and neither has insisted on a new electric yet (new acoustics yes, but apparently the electrics are good enough). I think I eyed Jeff eyeing Jim's guitar when he was here, but in my excitement it didn't hit me. We should have both said something to Jim and made him get it out!
I cant wait it will be here Thursday this is a really good company to deal with I liked the extra security when giving my card number just like my online banking this sounds like overkill but I am still getting a Gibson Les Paul just have to wait to arrange financing

Amy I also heard this from a friend who has purchased around 12 guitars from Rondo he is the guy who dose all the hard electronic work for me I looked and I couldn't find any acoustics on there website
