Dammit, you've partially stolen my idea!! I was going to do something similar with my dremel and paint a solid colour as a contrast!!

Hey you know what they say, great minds think alike! Hey go ahead with it id love to see how it turns out. Perhaps you could pm me...
But our ideas miight be closer than you think.....when i put the dark blue on the body im going to white pinstripe it to match the white pickguard, and then going to sign my username in white paint on the headstock.

That sounds really cool. I don't know what colour I would use on mine. The back of the body and neck are a black stain, similar to yours, but I'm doing the front in a clear, but with a light burst if I can pull it off. Might hang on to the idea until I grab a PRS kit for the next one!

HELP.....anyone...... did a mock build first up but not a complete one, no screws were put in, now im fitting the neck and looking to download some instructions.....i have nothing fitted so where to start?
Ive fitted the neck and its tight, no room for adjustment, pickguard looks a bit wonky too, neck isnt in a straight line with the body cavity......ive read the section on building your guitar but still dont know where to start when nothing has been fitted..HELP PLZ.....

ps any pdf s to download?

Align your neck with clamp and strings on video may help.
