Just to take you to the next page... Your build is looking awesome! From experience with Mk1, definitely do not rush between the Coats! Took me I think over 2 months from first stain coat to final top coat application

Update:
I have finally gone ahead and ordered some extra bits and pieces for my Strat build from Realtone music, stuff like a set of three gold Strat knobs and pickup selector-switch tip, roller string trees, etc, all I have to do now is get the three new ASN57 pickups ordered.
Update 2:
Finally got the set of three Entwistle ASN57 pickups ordered, everything is finally falling into place now, all I need to do now is just sit back and wait.

Update:
I just received an email from Realtone Music saying that my order has been dispatched, when I went through the process of paying for my order, I found that it qualified for the free two business-day express post, so hopefully I should get the bits I ordered by the end of the week, or possibly the middle of next week....woohoo!!
Doc, Realtone are excellent at fast turn around orders so you should have the order by end of this week with any luck

yea, but your axe isn't finished yet, you can do it Doc! I'm bettin you hit 60 pages.
If by clear coat you're referring to the DT CG Final Coat, then I put the first clear coat on the Strat body on last Thursday, been giving it time to dry ever since, I think I will go ahead and apply the second coat of DT CG Final Coat this afternoon since the body feels dry enough.
