Cheers Andy, we’ll see how it goes. If it doesn’t work out, then it may be heads off for Igor!

Very slow progress,
Checked bridge height with the neck clamped in, if anything it was too low and too loose.
So I modified a StewMac Ebony/Maple one to give me a little extra height and allow for shaping.
Don’t even ask what’s going on here. Just a little more FrankenLab silliness.
Hopefully get into masking up for pain soon
Edit: PAINT. Masking up for PAINT.

Aaaaand sanding....and scraping....and planning inlay.

And a little experiment with inlay...
You’ll have to imagine the front face of the headstock black, as it will eventually be.
I plan to put a corresponding one on the TRC and then a script logo between the two.

I personally prefer inlay over decals. Looks like MOP of some thickness? Will stand out nicely against a black background. Does this mean it will be black paint? I’m yet to figure out how to remove stain from on top of an inlay without making a mess of the headstock, and then clear coats taking up stain and going back over the inlay.
Headstock will be black, the overall scheme will be a burst similar to your ES 1. I need to make the edges da rk to hide the whoopsie that happened with the battery box rout.
The signature/logo will be a decal, just need to do some AI work to get it to look right for the guitar, my standard Hex logo won’t look right on this build.
