Hey Andy, have you checked the spacing of the bridge holes on this kit? We had a couple of these that were drilled for a Tune-O-Matic bridge and not for the bridge that comes with this kit. Maybe just check before proceeding any further.

Hey Adam, just checked the bridge hole spacing and everything seems fine.
Thanks for the heads up though.
Good news. Gavin T had one that was out and we have two here that are also mis-drilled, so some must have been made on a Friday after a long liquid lunch.
Looking pretty awesome Andy. That walnut colour - it looks pretty close to black here, but is it really? I'm trying to find a black stain suitable for a maple cap for a burst, so it needs to be able to blend and fade. Would this be any good?
Hi Glenn,
The walnut probably isn't as black as it looks in the photo...definitely a very dark brown, which I was after.
In the Feast Watson Prooftint range, which these stains are, they do both a Japan Black and a Black.
I have got the Japan Black and it is very black. Think it would be fine for what you're after.
They are available in very handy little 50ml bottles for about $7 - $8, more than enough or a few builds.
I did the blend on this burst by rubbing the stains on with rags, and they blended really nicely.
They are a dye based stain. Try both the blacks on some offcuts and see what you think.
Cheers,
Andy
The Burst looks great Andy.
WOW that burst is something else.
Finished the clear coats this morning.
Got quite a nice level of gloss straight off the gun.
Will leave now for a week to cure properly and then cut and polish.
During the week I can make a start on the wiring...get the burn cream ready!! 8O

Wow! your burst looks freaking awesome with the clear on Andy. Another superb result. Congrats.
cheers,
Gavin.
Have had no time during the week to do anything on my build...but got a bit done this weekend.
Cut and polished the clear coat on the body and neck.
Completed all the shielding and wiring.
Fixed the bridge in place.
Lowered the nut height.
Screwed on the output jack and the control cavity cover.
Fairly productive really for the small amount of time I had to spare, between working till Saturday arvo and the rest of the time trying to grab glimpses of us demolishing the poms!! :D
Will hopefully try and get the headstock decal done one night this week.
