Yeah, the kit was great quality and on mine I only found one small glue spot.
The wudtone has brought the grain really nicely and given it a depth that is really
cool in person. Only thing upgraded on mine was the jack, as I accidentally put a switchcraft
one on that I was going to use on a speaker cabinet.
Hi Tristan,
Man, your finish looks awesome!
Did you need to do anything special with the Wudtone application to pop the grain like that? Is it a specific base coat / colour coat combination?
Would love to use your Wudtone choice on my next project.
Fantastic job!
Cheers,
Gavin.
The Colour's Carmine Gypsy.
It's brilliant for bringing out the grain and the application's no different to any other wudtone colours
apart from the added coat (or two) of deep colour before the base coats.
Neck bolted on and binding clean.

looking good Tristan, looks pretty similar to Gav's FV (his was carmine as well) but he made a few mods and leaving the truss rod cover cost him GOTM couple of months ago !
Arrggh, my Ipad keeps rotating pictures. I'm not leaving the truss rod cover. Actually
bought a custom one from the states, which I'm putting on tomorrow. But I
broke my 1/16 drill bit, so I'll have to grab a new one when I head to bunnings for a
belt sander tomorrow
Tristan, you better not use the hardware store name starting with 'B' around Dingobass ! He's not a fan !
I know, but don't worry, all of my router bits, sandpaper, glue, etc come from stewmac :)
I'm afraid at times a trip to bunnings is a necessary evil, especially when you need to quickly
sand a rough cut headstock to a useful shape!
did you have to remind me!!!! ;)Quote:
