Any reason your kit has gone uncompleted? was there any prefit problems?

I am confident that i can compensate for any issues that arise, but like i stated before i am still in the research phase of this project.

do a google image search for "Saga Les Paul".

I have not purchased the kit yet, still in the research phase. =]

Yeah i am doing a LOT of research before i complete this kit.

I have heard some bad things about the sealer, and i would have to sand through it to dye the wood.

I really like the class of a white les paul.

I have never finished anything, but i am looking to complete a Saga Les Paul kit and finish it with a vintage white.

Looking for the white with gold hardware look.

What steps/medium should be used to accomplish this?

Awesome finish, very convincing faux Snakeskin. I think that finish would look even better on the top only with a faux binding in white or black. I'm sure whoever buys that guitar will be happy with that finish.

Gorgeous guitar mate, I am really liking that finish.

Thats a pretty veneer.

I have never done veneer work but i would like to finish a guitar with some burl walnut, and quad matched like this:

this image is too small to really appreciate the grain on the veneer.

Well i have heard bad things about the sealer that comes on them, and that the veneer top is paper thin.

I think i have decided to go with the LP i am going to make it white with gold humbuckers from guitar fetish, gold hardware and a black pickgaurd.

I am basically looking at these kits because of:

A: pricepoint

B: I know nothing about woodworking.

I can rewire and upgrade the stock hardware, but im unsure about the finish.

Would a white spraypaint or primer covered in the Rerange tinted clearcoat work to give it a vintage look?

I am completely new here and new to guitar building, tho i have been playing guitar for about 10 years.

I am looking at the Saga Kits, and i have read conflicting reviews regarding the quality.

It seems with these kits you get what you put into them.

I am torn between the Les Paul and the PRS clone.

any suggestions/tips.
