What a good idea and it keeps the back looking neat and tidy too. Great job Fred. Clearly Blue guitars rule this month by the look of things so far.Originally Posted by FredA

Wokkaboy...I'm in Montana in the U S of A. When I ordered this guitar kit from Pit Bull I figured the wait would be at least a couple of weeks since it really is a long way from Central Australia to Montana here. Was totally blown away when I got my kit in less than a week! I used Keda dyes to do this build. Mix a bit of warm water and some dye powder and away we go!! The old adage of 'when you think you've sanded enough, keep sanding' was so true in this case. Thanks for all the comments.
Yummy,
Blue, blue & blue. Love the way the grain & figure really pop. Hope mine turns out half as well.
Awesome result Fred! Blown mine out of the water that's for sure. She's a stunner man. I would love to hear how she sounds!
cheers,
Gav.

In case you missed it, stan, I used Keda dyes for both the black and blue. The stuff is really great to work with.
Ah that sounds familiar now you mention it, nice result

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the comments!
I've recorded the new guitar with clean sound, going through each of the 5x positions, starting by bridge only, finishing by neck only.
Playing is very average and I need to lift the bridge saddles I think to clean this fret buzz a bit.
