Thanks so much! That makes me feel a lot better. Really happy with how it’s coming out. Got a few coats of clear on the neck and body and got some decals made from Rothko & Frost. Learnt a lot this...

Hey guys. So, everything has been going well with the build so far, even though I’m struggling to find much spare time at the moment; until I watched a video last night on how the electrics do...

Heavier than I probably had imagined it would be before I had held it. I really like it. Yet to bolt it all together to feel it properly but I think it is a lovely weight.

Last night I wiped the excess off with a damp cloth around the sides, and gave it a gentle sand along the spots where the runs were. The sides are the same tone as the front and back now. Hung it...

I’ll definitely itely take that on board Wazkelly and FrankenWashie. The end grain definitely does look a tone or two darker than the front and back. There’s a few small runs right at the bottom. I...

Took him up on that!

Excellent! I’ll take it thanks! PM me with the details and I’ll get it organised ASAP.

Hey mate. Is this still available?

Thanks guys! I’m really happy with how it’s coming along. I’ll probably start the intensifier coats maybe around Tuesday/Wednesday. Really enjoying the build. I’d like to think the first of many!

Very happy with the tone the Black Stump Dingtone stain has given. The grain still shows through beautifully. It does look a little bit darker in the photo than it does in the flesh, which I'm happy...

I let it dry and then sanded back to 240 and got ready to start staining.

I left it on there for about 24 hours, then wiped it off and was pleasantly surprised with the result.

Hi guys, just a few progress shots...

I sanded back to 120 and then used some "Ebony" Timbermate grain filler. After I finished putting it on I sat back and had a "what have I done" moment and...

Also, do you guys recommend doing all the drilling before I start any staining?

I did order some “Black Stump” Dingotone thinking the dark stain would look good with chrome parts? No neck holes in the body? Wasn’t sure if this was typical or not. Work today, then a couple days...

Thanks heaps guys! It’s great that everyone on here is so forthcoming with help and advice. Excited to make a start. I’ll keep that shielding tape idea in mind Dave. Cheers. Comforting knowing you’re...

Thanks, mate! Good luck to you too. We'll get through it!

Hi everyone!

I was very excited to receive my GTL-1B today! Finally got home and did a quick mock build. I think everything looks ok. Bit of a looser neck fit than I had expected, but I'm not...
