"What I lack in talent I make up for with enthusiasm"
Thanks guys! Still a long way to go, the part I'm stressing on is getting the logo on the headstock right, and how to get it there to start with. Sonic... your Shoegazer gave me an idea that I'm going to try out.

nice job excellent shine Swanny I haven't seen many of theses that the stain look even but you have nailed itOriginally Posted by Swanny
I did a bit of a mock up before I have to head off to work this arvo, I'm liking what I see!
Next is to finish off the sides and back.
Damn swanny, I wouldn't have been able to resist the mock up either

More coats of oil have been applied to the back and sides before work this morning with a bit of wet and dry sanding, and they're not looking too bad. The wife is disappointed that I didn't do the body the same colour as the front, but I wanted a different look.
I guess I'm at the stage where I should get some shielded cable for the wiring. I have a work mate who loves his Gretsch's and his rockabilly band, and he's told me about all these wiring options out there for the extra controls on this model. I have to pick his brain, compare to the diagrams on here, plus Weirdy's suggestions.

I thought I'd try something different for the logo. Print out the logo, cut out the individual letters, spray paint them silver, glue them to the head stock, cover with True Oil. Many more coats to follow!

I started on the wiring today, after polishing became the opposite of fun. I've ordered some some braided shielded cable, which hasn't arrived yet, but I had some left over from my first build to make a start.
