I always wanted a flying V type guitar ,so when I found this kit on the Bay for a good price I pulled the trigger! 
Eugene, I did not know that you could buy guitars in kit form. Never even thought of looking for one that way. Haven’t even had one for years now. Hmmmmmmmm.
Stay safe.

Yes Fox,guitar kits exist!I built my Tele last year from a kit and it is a great guitar! 
Taped off the binding and fingerboard and sprayed on sone primer. 
I decided on going with a gold,I will paint half of the body and headstock black. 
Now that looks like a fun project. Does the kit come with pickups etc? Gold turned out nice!
Yes they do but I have another set of humbuckers that are a bit hotter!
Wow!!! That’s going to look great.
When I was learning to play the guitar, I just had a cheap one I got in a pawn shop. Not electric. My brother sent me one for a birthday present back about 40 years ago. It was a very cheap plain one that had a coat, or ten, of some cheap sparkle junk on it. When I tried to refinish it, I discovered it had a large crack across the entire face. It wasn’t worth the time I spent trying to get that junk off. My brother said he didn’t know about the damage but thought the sparkle paint was good for a joke gift. A few years ago, he finally told me he paid $5 for it. I will say this, I did not get mad but i really did get even. How i did is a story better not told.[;)]
Stay safe.

Oh My!
Being a Player of a traditional Acoustic this looks odd to me. There are many that look like that which are good Bass units,This can certainly be called a Craft!
Yes Gibson came out with the original along with the Explorer in 1958,pretty radical designs from Gibson to compete with Fenders Stratocaster!
Had to fix the goofs with my airbrush!
