Really great looking kit Dedman

Great design concept Deddy and looks like some nice grain to work with too.

[Dedman]

just joking

Have about 6 coats of TO on so far. Have adjusted the pick up cavity to take the humbucker , it needed some off all round and some extra depth as well as there are so many wires coming off it.
I mixed the stain from wood dyes and a touch of black ink. The sides are mostly cedar with some red and black. the top is a mix of cedar, orange and red.
There was a thin glue line down the centre and in a couple of spots near the edges. I got out my tamiya modelling paints and mixed up some colour to match the stain, dabbed it on, then got a super fine paint brush and painted some spalting over it.

nice one Deddy looking very nice. 6 coats in 3-4 days, hope they were thin coats

Will that D letter be stuck onto the body or headstock ?

[Dedman]

the D is just a joke Wokka, Duesenburg have a D about there on their guitars.

I do one coat in the morning and one late afternoon Wokka, TO dries pretty quick.

Looking good Deddy. You should be good with the TO routine, I do exactly the same.

[wokkaboy]

no worries Deddy, I reckon the D would look good on the headstock if it will fit. D for Dedman haha

Nice kits deddy, I gotta say I was tempted but one of the other new kits got me first

For once my sense of self control (or is it self preservation?) have prevented me from pulling the trigger on a few in the last couple of weeks. I may have to give in on a DM for Christmas.

It should be called "the Dark Force"
