Ooh, cosmo black on this red is gonna look tight. Good choice.

I have been all over the shop with what i am going to do with this guitar Pabs, just getting it ready for some Poly U then i will get the wiring done.

Slowly getting there :D

1st very fine coat of minwax wipe on poly, hard to see here, trying to juggle for the camera and didnt want the neck to hit the dirt

Sanded back the neck this morning with some good old 0000 then gave it a second wack with MinWax wipe on Poly

Attachment 9150

Next going to give the body a light 0000 run over then a wipe down with naptha, and i hope to do the top and sides today.

Nice progress, this will be a beast, love the cosmo black hardware

Cant wait to get the tuners on and the neck on.

I have using kitchen shhhhh (shes at work) to do the body, its too hot in my shed.

Have done the top waiting for it to absorb and dry out, i will give it until tomorrow to recoat, tek it back with some 0000 and go again, they say 3 hours but its still a bit tacky then, i prefer to let it cure.

Nothing like an email from the sweetheart herself, Becky Lawrence

Tony, getting ready to ship the L-90's this week and you'll receive an e-mail via www.stamps.com with shipping updates soon.

Thanks again,

Becky

so my Bill Lawrence L90's for this build are on their way this week, thats unless i decide to put the humbucker out of a tele blacktop in it, and put the L90's in the tele blacktop body haha all good fun.

I've been tracking this one from the sideline Tony. You have a very nice cherry colour going on here. This will look awesome with the finish & hardware.
