Good. I think it's going to look very nice indeed.

Has enyone had issues with humidity and the neck joint i had i fitting perfect 2 noghts ago now its super tight i know it will go back once the humidity drops .is it best not to glue a neck in high humidity
When my ES-3 kit first came, the neck didn't fit at all well into the pocket. But after a week of resting in the house, it fitted perfectly. All that air transport and changes in temperature and humidity had certainly affected the wood.
Yes, I'd avoid gluing in high humidity as with that tight neck joint, you are only going to get a very thin layer of glue in there, which could then be pulled apart as the wood contracts with lower humidity conditions (though the fact that it's now a sealed surface will reduce the rate of change). Better to have a thicker layer of glue that's simply being squashed as the wood expands slightly when the humidity rises again, than a thinner layer that's being pulled apart as the humidity falls.
Thanks simon
1st intensified coat done stoked with the colour and didnt want to leave the tape on any longer, there is only one little run under the tape that should sand out. Looks a lot better than i thougjt it would.
Time let that dry for a few days and then start the natural finish on the rest.might have to go away for the weekend so i leave it alone and dont try to do more
The blue looks better than the photos are showing
Looking great, Adam. Very tasteful. The striping blends in well and doesn't shout out for all the attention.
In some sunlight
Yeah man! That looks killer. The blue/natural contrast is really, really nice. Great job. I'm looking forward to seeing the clear coats really bring the colour out. Are you planning chrome or gold hardware?
cheers,
Gav.

Crome will look best with the blue i think. Some crome tone and vol knobs would look good. If i can find some?
