Some of you may have grabbed one or more during the Ubuyguitars thing some years back.
Maybe you just never got around to building it, or maybe never will.

I like the 2 HB guitars I built from that.

So, if you have a P90 husk you want to move - hopefully cheap- PM me.
The shipping may be a deal killer.

I have a few cheapy pedals to work into the deal if interested - Joyo JF-37 Chorus, Dano BLT Slap Echo, and a Mosky Plexi-m.

I bought one of those too, and it's been sitting in my closet ever since. But it's routed for HBs, not P90s.

Gearlist: Agile, Squier, Ibanez, Italia, Fender., Peavey, Epiphone and Partscasters.

I never knew that AXL had kits. But I did buy a finished one out right. Did not like the head stock so I swapped out for a Squier neck.

Yeah, there's not much that can be done with that headstock. Their guitars aren't bad though... Well, I can only speak for their basses, actually. Back when I was doing repair/setup work on a semi-regular basis, I had a client bring me an AXL P/J bass that he was going to give to his adult son, but it was practically unplayable. The neck had a bad bow in it, but after sorting that out, I didn't need to do anything else to it. I didn't need to do a fret-level, or file the nut... Hardware was decent... Neck felt good... It had "EMG Select" pickups, which I believe came stock with the bass, and they sounded great. It also had full-size Alpha pots, which I usually leave alone.

I considered offering to buy it from him if his son didn't like it (he was a guitar player who just wanted a bass around for recording bass tracks at home), but then I looked at the headstock again and thought... Hmmm... maybe not. :)
