Its been a week again and the humidity has been nice in Brisvegas, so it was time for another coat of DT.
The last stain coat had dried with patches of gloss, so I gave it quick light sand with 400.

And the final stain coat has cone on. Its still wet but you can tell that the stain has "matured".

I may give this one a bit longer as storms are predicted this week. but nevertheless it will be on with the intensifying coat!
The neck got another thin dose of neck finish.

I think thats three neck coats in all. I know that's enough for DB, but I'll see how this one dries.
Looking good.
Shame about the oversized neck humbucker route they cut into all these kits considering most will have the traditional single coil PUP as that complicates things if you want to have a naked top with no scratch plate. Same on both my Tele & J Bass and would have preferred to go 'Naked' to show off all the grainy goodness just like yours has.
New Update
Neck was peppered with dust particles....damn particles...not sure if you can see them in the pic.
