Nice job for a first go... Will certainly be unique & a good memory...
As for another Dark Tease coat, I remember somewhere someone saying it only comes together after the 2nd / 3rd coats... Until then it looks a bit messy...

yeh but the color is very close to the body color already
Yep, do at least 3 coats on both the neck and body or else it won't look good at all!!
okay 2nd coat of clear on the body and 2 coats on the neck, coming along nicely.. just waiting for some bling from the usa to show up in the post

Looking great Brett :)
The DT looks fantastic on this body, can't wait to see the bling!
yeah really happy with the grain, this started out as a bonnie rait tribute, but i got carried away on ebay. so i changed the head style and will swap out the pickguard and back cover.
It is really easy to get carried away buying bits for Guitars.... My Miss Fiona often stops me from getting to excited and hitting the buy button... Lucky for me cause if I was left to my own devices I would forget that there are bills and food and other annoying responsibilities in life :)
thanx to he guys at pitbull so fast getting copper shielding.. ordered and sent within 3 days , awesome .... ok 3 coats of clear on body and 2 on the neck, almost ready to start assembely
Glad to hear your copper showed up so fast Brett.
We do try our best to process orders and get them out within 24 hours where possible.
Waiting with great anticipation to see the beastie finished off with the Bling
Wokka and I will be around shortly to begin your GAS intervention process. Help is at hand!Quote:

That looks great Brett. I was going to say it looks good for a 1st build, but I think it would look good for any build.
I like the white knobs and P'ups with the the dark pick guard. I've ordered some black knobs and covers to go with a black guard for my current ST build, but now I'm not so sure. I hope you don't mind if I steal your idea.

Turned out a treat Brett. Great contrast of Colours there. The headstock looks great too. :)

Gotta agree with that - not too shabby for a cacky hander (I'm a lefty but play righty)
Does the big 40 indicate your age or is there a more cryptic meaning?
Top job BTW.
thanx all.. hey max i bought the guitar for my 40th birthday.
Nice. The dark timber is really classic - it is a good match for Rob's IB5!
Personally I think the white controls let it down, but the contrast is quite striking and I can imagine a lot of people liking that.
Another brilliant first effort!
