After sanding, I have given the body and the neck two coats of dingotone - Coolangatta gold. It has come out a little darker than I expected , but I am happy with it. The neck will need a few more coats to match the body.:)

After more coats of the neck and body, and waiting for them to dry, I have come up with a few possible names for this guitar. I hope these have not been chosen by others. Any comments.
I think the Winged-V would look good horizontally at the top of the headstock.
There is a V in coVid...
Small truss rod cover - Phat V where the normal Script logo would be.
Large truss rod cover -V- on the top and Korona 19 on the truss rod cover.
My $0.02
While adding more DT coats to the body and neck, my impatience has got the better of me.
So I decided to give the soldering a go. I have swapped the 3-way switch with an all black one I purchased. I have left room for the pup wires on the connector strip. I purchased some Irwin wire stripping pliers which did a great job at removing the insulation.
It has been a while since I soldered, but all seemed to go OK.
I have also had a go at making a wooden template to make a custom truss rod cover - some 3-ply pick guard is on its way. My trial with MDF sheet worked well using a router table with flush trim bit followed by 45o bit.
Good work. That test truss rod cover looks nice.
Everything has been going slowly due to cooler weather.
I have now completed the 3 ply truss rod cover.
Started coating the body and neck in tru-oil - 4 coats so far.
Nice work on the truss rod cover
Put it all together. All the electronics works - yeah. Still need to do correct setup.
