    Would I be correct in now doing a rub over with a micromesh pad soaked in water with a drop of washing up liquid in, then do 2 coats of 50/50 tru oil on the neck to finish it and the fretboard... I think the basswood body still needs a gallon lol.... will let that dry till the weekend before another coat

    Can obviously see the 3 different planks though... the pickguard will cover a lot, but wish it was a one piece body lol....

    Thought I was going to be almost there this afternoon... got the tuners on... fitted the pickguard, soldered the input jack, went and tested it on the amp with a screwdriver, well happy apart from the jack being a bit slack, took it out and the lug snapped.....
