nice touch on the headstock Grant, so the exposed part we can see will be shaped maple and the mdf area will be veneer ?

Thanks Tony and Wokks. I have some Behlen satin poly for the top coat. Tried some on the veneer and looks pretty good, not as good on the bare mahogany. Need to find a way to darken it slightly, have plenty of stains to play around with so should come up with something.
Grant
Spot on Wokks
sounds good Grant, maybe some red or brown stain for the mahogany centre would look the bizz with the burl sides
haha i dip my Fender style pickups in Behlen satin poly before i wind them, so you will never get a short wire against the pole.
I was thinking along the same lines.
yes all the mahogany bodies I have stained red or brown suits the hue in the 'hog'
Well, you learn something new every day, thanks for that info Tony

So I'm guessing the heat from wax potting doesn't bother the poly, that's why you use it?
