got the Exman completed lastnight, just giving the glue on the neck another 24 hours before I put on any string tension but its wired up and makes noise.
Got some black pup surrounds posted today so I'll replace the bridge pup surround for a black one and should go well with the dark grain.
Pretty happy how it turned out.
Spent about 3 hours doing a fret level so should play pretty well with any luck !
Might need to tweak the truss rod.

Nicely done Wokka.
The iceman and explorer shapes fit well and the chunk of wood looks awesome.
-
Thats a hell of a lot of depth in the sheen there, Wokka. Looking very speccy.
-
thanks Tony and Lozza for the nice comments.
@ Lozza, its about 8 coats of Tru Oil, last 2 coats were thinned down and wet sanded to 2500 grit.
Like all axes it looks better in the flesh than the photos
-
The horn is a bit too Freudian for my liking, but regardless, the look and finish is fantastic.
Another example of the builders' art at work.

Dammit Max! There are some things you just can't unsee.
Great stuff Wokka.

They all look fantastic, Wokka.
What's the collective noun for a group of guitars?

@ Lozza not sure mate, do you know ? thats only a small part of my collection haha. Lucky I haven't got GAS !

Came out a treat woks, looks like its straight out of the 70's. Very cool

Hey Wokka, that looks amazing mate. Your work just get better and better. I'd be surprised if you couldn't sell this one for a decent price... if it had Tonerider pickups in it... hint, hint.
One thing, can you please watch the size of your images, they're 3000+ px on the longest edge. Try and crop or reduce them to 1000px. Or get to know how to use imgur.com.

@ Adam, thanks mate, yer sure may think about upgrading the pickups to tonerider. I'll try and resize my pics in future, I always take the pics at maximum resolution.
Here's the last daylight pics.
Oh and I was going to reveal where the neck came from when the build was finished, the neck is actually from one of your first builds Adam, the marone EX1 kit that features in some of the early PGB videos. Must have been one of the really early kits because no one has noticed its only got 21 frets and the heel was taller than my EX-1 kit and had a funny shape step that wouldn't allow the neck pickup to sit flush.

Don't give him any ideas Lozza !
I got the neck from DB for a swap for a 4 pack of quadrupel beers !
