Hi Rossco, nice kit and hopefully you can keep the animal fibres away from things when applying the finish and waiting for it to dry.

The minute parts of the veneer near that 5c coin in the pic can be covered by loading up the clear top coats and allowing them to act as a filler.

In relation to amps you mentioned earlier in this thread I have a Vox VT40+ and it has plenty of usaeable onboard effects plus sounds great clean or dirty with lots of volume going into a 10" speaker. Been tempted to buy an all valve amp as I had a 100w Marshall head before kids and marriage some 30 odd years ago but find it hard to justify the expense as you will end up buying additional pedals to do this and that where the combos have that sorted already. If money was not an issue I'd buy the AC15 ahead of the Marshall as it has more to offer tone wise whereas Marshall's can tend to be a more one dimensional sound palate.

I'll be following this thread because I'm gonna order my LP kit soon. Love the veneer top on yours!

Hey Rossco, personally I would do a localised fill with ebony Timbermate. when you sand it back you wont take any of the veneer with you. It will look like another bit of spalt.

cheers,
Gav.

Thanks for all the feedback guys re body and Amp.

Been a fun weekend of sanding here. Everything back to 320 ready for the timbermate. That will probably have to wait for next weekend now as weeknight time is at a bit of a premium. Oh well no rush.

You could always try vacuuming the animals.

Have the Dyson attachment to do that very thing....you would need to sedate them, see it coming they run a mile.

Just put them in a plastic Box under the Bed....

Get some mates, all with a Dyson. and do it at night so they can't see it coming. Whoever gets the most hair wins!

So with the all the various wiring diagrams around the place, though the easiest way to actually understand them would be to draw one out myself. Thought I'd try the vintage style wiring first see how that goes, so planning on the following. No glaring errors that anyone can see is there?

Cheers
