looking good Priscilla, got to love that makeshift stand !
for your information the control cavity isn't routed for the back plate so the plate won't sit flush with the body, I found out right at the end of the build. I built an IB-5 in amber as well and love the look and it plays as well !
hey thanks!Quote:

Yeah, i realized it pops out :( and it doesn't really fit too well over the cavity either :/ I had to get another back plate... Yeah, I saw your build and it looked real good. I only did 4 coats of amber though. Haha. and the walnut's looking real good with the amber right now.
2nd satin top coat!
Well, the finishing coats can't really be seen very clearly on photos, but it actually does look better in real life and it has a very nice feel to it actually. I don't see many people using satin finishes on this forum, but I think satin finishings are great on natural wood colours.

it's coming up really well, great work
Looks fantastic. I particularly like the grain below the pickup cavities.
Wow excellent work!
Hi guys, any one have any suggestions for satin coats? I am wondering how many coats I should apply... So far I have applied 3.
I have found 3 is good as a minimum so anymore will be a bonus.
Are you happy with how it looks now.
if so stop.
Yeah pretty happy with my 3rd coat!Quote:
