Who likes working on instruments?
Heck, who's better at working on them than playing them?
I recently finished a 'minor' project--in that, as a stupid teenager, I applied paint, redid the insides, and applied admirable craftsmanship to questionable taste--and now, twenty years later, returned my first guitar to more-or-less stock.

The next one is a Les Paul kit. Spalted maple. Plan on doing a yellow-to-green burst, with lines creeping in toward the center, and debating whether to fade the initial layer in or leave it hard-edged and fade to dark only within the green.
Also cut out a section for a batter box and a push-pull master volume pot. Pulling it will turn on an onboard distortion backlit with an LED, pushing it bypasses straight to output.
Thankfully did that before I moved, when I had machines.
