Really enjoyed this 2 part build. Attention to detail and sand sand sand, but we both know. The result is only as good as the preparation and your prep is top notch KB. Great relic techniques, thanks, just added a few to my book of favorites. Never really was keen on this body shape. But, your build has given me a new appreciation and I think it looks absolutely wicked! Love the cts pots, and the oil filled cap, switch craft jack. Can't go wrong with what works so well. Sounds excellent, and looks like it is easy play. The name of this build should be Krelic Master as it is a heavy relic Jazz Master design made by Kris Barocsi. Don't be humble, Krelic Master is definitely worth being on a Barocsi custom. After thoughts, Krelicaster or Relicaster have a nice ring to them. You are donating it for the cause. Sounds cool KB, cheers!

really nice job on that kris,... i'd name it Betty lol... the blue reminds me of Betty Rubble's dress from the Flintstones.

For pickgaurds, if I have one already in the shape I want, I use that as a template and use a router flush cut bit. I use the smallest one. They are pretty tiny. Then hit the outside edge with a chamfer

Here is a good tip, use star washers when mounting the pots and the input jack. They make your ground connection really solid and also keep your pots from loosening and twisting over time. They are cheap, you can get them anywhere and work great.

That wiring is incredibly satisfying. You did an awesome job here !

The patience for scratching the indentations omg I don't think I can. My neck would just say no after a while Good on you bro

Very nice...! The Alchymist....

Great work! Funnily I also did the JA kit in Pelham Blue. Some tips for the weather checking. Use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm up the guitar first and then shoot it with the cold spray. Nitro checks because of harsh temperature changes. So heating it up and then cooling it drastically brings the best results. Second tip: cold spray is quite expensive. You can use canned air and shoot it with the can upside down. Same effect. And a minor correction: there are no ground loops in guitars with passive electronics as there is just one ground (the output jack). But the idea of using copper tape as ground wire is a great one!

Fiiire! Absolutely amazing (:

Going through the process gives insight what is involved in building a guitar and why some choices are made. Imagine building a guitar from scratch, with only pieces of raw wood! That would easily double your build time. Diy build Is also good for realising and appreciating the skills involved with ready made guitars like Harley Benton or Vintage at an affordable price. Have you calculated what your hour salary would have been for this project? Looking back, would you say the hidden cost factor is paint? Kudos for the attention for quality and documenting it on camera, Kris! I remember Andy staining his Les Paul, a rollercoaster of hope and despair!

Whenever I paint bodies with nitro I always go through the clear coat into the colour even with 2000 grit but the time I’ve got the orange peel out. I’m thinking of doing with steel wool next time but will take hours for sure

@KrisBarocsi

Two tips: 1. sand between all the layers and keep the surface always orange peel free, that helps at the end. 2. Try more layers of clear coat at the end. You’ll send off most of it anyways when you’re buffing so you won’t end up with a thick finish (if that’s what stops you from putting more layers on there). Have fun experimenting with it man!
