@ Ricardo: nice clean lines with a customised scratch plate to set things off.
@ RosscO: What glue marks? Can't see any in those shots. On the back is that ply wood used for control covers instead of the plastic ones? Overall looks good.

Yes, just some 3mm ply, didn't stain, just some runny timbermate and tru-oil. Think I'll sand back and Stain, see if I can get the colour to match better (sometime).

Time to flesh out this GOTM with one more!

Pickguard: All parts black 3 ply
Knobs etc: All parts parchment
Pick ups: Tonerider Classic Blues
Body Stain: Ebony Timbermate grain fill with Dingotone Custom Colour - Rosewood

Body and Neck finish: Tru oil

Even with only 4 builds i still wouldn't want to be judging. Rossc0's LP is SWEEEEEEET but Andy's ST is a Peach. Logan'S IB is killer and i'm still gobsmacked with Ricardo's beautifully clean and elegant LP salvation job. Tough call all round!
