Awesome looking work Robin!
I've been putting off my build due to illness and the weather. It's way too cold out in the shed at the moment.
Depending on the weather tomorrow I might do some more work on it. Looks like it's going to be a wet day unfortunately, so the lawns won't get done....again!
Beautiful and worse case it will make a stunning wall hanging :D
Coming up a real treat, Rob.
Looking great and thanks for the Brasso tip, I will try it out
Brasso does work well but avoid any pools of it as it does eat through the finish (at least on acrylic). Apply to a cloth, not the guitar, then you'll be fine.
Very cool!

Thanks Simon, and thanks for the tip about Brasso. I have had good results using Brasso with both Tru-Oil and now MinWax. Luckily I have always applied it to the cloth and not the guitar.
@Andrew, Dave, Pabs, Dedie & Kick.
Thanks guys. The encouragement we all get from these Forums never ceases to amaze me.
@Zandy
Thanks mate, hope you're feeling better and get a chance to venture out into the shed. The grass can keep mate, doesn't grow much over winter anyway.
Thanks again guys

love your work as always Westie07 ! You always get a beautiful shine and it's a cool looking axe.
Is that mini wax gloss wipe on you used ?
Thanks Warren. Yes mate, it is Minwax clear gloss Wipe-On Poly.
Hi Robin, just catching up this build and super impressed with how it has turned out.
Yes, I use a little bit of Brasso too, but only a little bit as it cuts through finish quicker than anything else I have used. Good for a quick wipe over or concentrated in small problem areas and then back on to Meguairs. On the Swampy Tele I used Nu Finish for the final buff up after a few solid workouts with Meguairs and was very surprised how it brought up the shine. Far more forgiving than Brasso and Meguiars but it did need things to be quite smooth to begin with which is where Brasso combined with a bit of thickness in the finish helped.
