It hasn't quite arrived as yet, but it's hopefully 2-3 weeks away, just in time for Christmas with a bit of luck.
This will be my third guitar and I hope this will be be my best. I have gone with a rosewood fingerboard instead of the maple, a fixed Babicz bridge and I am thinking chrome humbuckers with coil splits, 3-way switch and volume and tone.
It has been ordered with cream binding and a spalted maple top.
The interesting part of the build will be the finish. I plan to use stain and the 'clear' will be superglue. Yes, SUPERGLUE.
I have done a fair bit of research and I have decided to try GluBoost as a finish. It is quick and easy to apply and should sit well with the spalted maple top.
I am aiming for a result like this.
The thing that I have to work out is the stain colour for the top as the glue is very clear and won't offer a yellowing effect like oil or lacquer.
Anyway, the waiting game continues...
