Been waiting to get some time off work (boss is a real slave driver) to get going with this one. This guitar has one major difference from most of the other PBG guitars, i wont get pinged for no truss rod cover and second I cannot place my logo on the headstock. Why? I can almost hear you ask! Because it doesnt have a headstock!
This iis the SH-1.
Decided to rout an edge around the body to put on some pearloid binding.
Gavmeister
Gav - looking good! You must love routing and doing binding! No lost fingers tonight?

No lost fingers....but not convinced i did the right thing by staining the grain black.....
Thinking I should take it back to the raw wood and rethink?
Full fret job - check!
fingerboard treatment pending....then to paint it......
crikey Gav's been a busy boy levelling frets and posting updates. The black stain looks a bit uneven Gav, pity, its a nice effect. You might want to sand it back and try something different, what yellow stain is that ? would look good with that on its own maybe ?

Go Gav! This model is on my 2014 wishlist..

This is growing on me, so much so that I have decided to treat it to some upgraded pickups! But for now it has to settle for the first of the Top Coats!
Lookin' good. There is something deliciously ironic about a futuristic shape with a "roadworn" wood look. I'm really liking this.
