one enters upon dangerous ground when one considers "upgrading" The V.

So.. I just ordered a 58 body and neck from https://precisionguitarkits.com/
After my experience with my lp jr I’m pretty confident in a better end product than you could get from Gibson… their fretwork alone is worth it. I know… I really needed a 7th flying vee…. but my thought is I could offload some of my epiphones and stuff and have fewer nicer guits.. plus I have almost all the parts laying around..

[Dandolin]

this seems like a solid plan and one i've envisioned along similar lines with respect to my own deal, though i've reached the point where i just want to sell first, then see about more projects

more power to you

also, came here to mention the whole "gibson sent a cease and desist to kiesel" hornswoggle...brouhaha...fooferaw...malarkey...merhumblegrumble
as usual, i am slow on the uptake....

Well, yeah.

Neck glued, first try-oil coat on.
Going with Black winters I took them out of my epi sheridan
Still working on the wiring concept.. don't know if I want a tone and am thinking series / parallel push pulls for less mud some times...
tuning like always will be B standard

That 58 kit is looking great

Thought this was an interesting DIY approach:

Make it more like Shawn Colvin though:
