Nice refinish, looks much better
Well...lacquer if applied, giving it time to cure before wet sanding:

Hmmm...to stain the fret board black, or not to stain the fret board black...
So in the mean time, I followed through on my wife's suggestion and made a custom truss rod cover:

Whatcha think? I think I need a cool decal...
Hmmm...lighting is sheite...I need to take some better pics...
looking awesome Scott. What is the truss rod cover made of ? You definitely need a cool logo on there
same wood as the 1/4" maple top I put on the body...just planed down a 1/8" piece and finished it like the body...
Yup...need a logo :)
really getting there now Scott, looks great
Looks great!

Well, this has proven to be a learning experience...wet sanded and started buffing/polishing...
Couple of small defects that I need to fix, and I sanded through on the heel like a dumbass, but I am happy so far:

I stained the fret board black and lacquered it...don't know if I'll polish...kinda like it how it is...
If I had it to do over, I would work the cutaways and neck heel more (grain isn't completely smooth/filled), might go back and redo at some point, but right now I'm itching to wire this puppy...
I love it man! Thumbs up!!
That looks really super.
Depending on how 'rough' the lacquer is, you might want to polish it once you get some strings on and start to play it. Because of the much thicker strings, you don't touch the fretboard with a bass as much as you do with a guitar, but I know I don't like fretboards that feel scratchy to my fingers.
Superb, looks brilliant
