So glued neck i tonight, had to put a 1.5mm shim under heal of the neck to get the action down.
I had a bit of mischief the other night, after drinking copious amounts of beer i decided to do an experiment on the guitar, very silly..
The experiment was to do a thin coat of oil about 40/60 then as it went touch dry hit with the wool buffer, wait 10 minutes and do agian.
Buffing every 10 minutes for an hour.
Having not seen or read of anyone doing this it was a bit of a silly thing to try so close to having it finished, fortunately my drunken idea has worked a treat and come up like a sheet of glass
Glad the experiment worked out for you, Adam. It would have been a real shame if had ruined the finish.
Nothing to stop you assembling the guitar now. It could all be complete in a couple of days!
Nice and very shiny.

Looks good to me. If you don't want to do it, there are normally companies who will do a custom decal for you.
You might want to apply the real one just very slightly to the left to counter the sloping typeface, which makes it look a touch offset to me.
