Calling this one 'finished' for now. A joint effort between me and my 10 year old, and only 5 months late for his birthday.
WL-1 kit, with DarkStar upgraded pickups, upgraded tuning heads, custom routed headstock, DIY back cover and pick guard. DIY sprayed knobs. And yes - no truss rod cover. Look away now if you are offended by such nakedness.
Paint was Super cheap Auto brand primer, black and clear, and a Duplicolor Honda Milano Red. Ebony stain on the neck and head, with some Osmocoat brand wax/oil over the top (it's what I usually use on wood...had it in the cupboard)
The kid didn't like my suggestion of calling it 'Shazza', he's gone with 'Vulcan' instead. After the Roman god of fire, metal, etc. Not the Star Trek people.
