"I've built a "PR" kit. I've asked the GKW staff if they could make me a kit with an "uncut" neck, so I could shape the back of the neck by hand. And even though it was an unusual request, they really delivered. Shaping the neck was fun. I also ended up replacing the fretboard with a maple one, as I thought it would fit my copper patina finish quite well." - Georg F.
Just when you think you have seen it all, here are some great hollow body kits that are truly unique in all sense. They have been made from scrap materials like old plate numbers or some tin can.

Doug DeLuca and his sixteen year old son turned a bare quilted maple top into a deep blue burst, and the figure still reads through the darkest part of the rim. Here is the dye versus pigment decision that made it work, why the edges are the darkest part of the guitar, and what you can copy on your own figured top.
Christoph and his son Fionn wanted a deep even black on an open-grained mahogany body with the figure still showing through, and the pores kept drying lighter than the surface. Follow the build from the bare kit to the finished bass, and see how they diagnosed it and what you can copy from their approach.
