Hey Fretty good advice but knowing Ponch he will probably copper shield the cavities
This is something I've been thinking about. As much as I love shielding staining the cavity would be the way to go. So then question is black or jarrah...? (same question for the bridge pup cavity)

Hey Ponch, wait and see what colour clear pickguard you choose, then maybe you can do some samples to see how it looks. Black cavities won't highlight the electronics very well
Hi Ponch, I used Black Conductive Shielding paint on my Ash J Bass and it really helped to accentuate the grain popping. Wimped out and went with the supplied white scratch plate but was all set to order either a silver mirror finish to tie in with all the chrome or maybe just a clear. Was scared off by the potential untidy look of wires hanging around underneath. Maybe one day I will revisit as traditional scratch plates hide way too much of the Ash grainy goodness.Quote:

Looking very nice Ponch. Hope your Headstock logo has Ponch sitting on his kwaka?
The color is pretty close to DBs rosewood stain he made for Andy40s Tele
Cheers Wokks, nothing too exciting with the decal, 3 letters in fancy writing there is a story behind it....

Nice job so far....that grain in the body looks intense!
Final coat done, I'll leave this a while to cure before bolting all together...
Neck and decal also done and.. no speed bumps, no fret levelling required [emoji1]
