Looks like a good save on the back there, djk. What are you going to do on the front? Will it scuff back enough for you to repost or do you think you’ll need to go right back to bare timber?
haha yeah good recovery eh. Has been a really good experience and perversely I kind of like the top. Even the way it is shinnier round the edge because of the uneven mix of the paint. It reminds me of an old gibson or a 60s Yamaha Semi acoustic. I have already sanded the two obvious drips round the tuning peg holes and I think I am going to see if it takes oil well or not when I oil the rest of the guitar tomoro

Call it Wabi-Sabi and push on eh? I like it.
I think I might cut off the bottom and put new screw holes higher up, or maybe not use it at all and wait for a guitar it suits

I think that truss rod cover would look good on something with a 3 a side headstock maybe a hollow body.
It did say it was for a Gretsch. I was hoping it was going to be metal. I had a look at the Explorer and they seem to use a traditional one same as the 3 a side LesPaul/SGs
was debating whether to go black or white with the scratchplate but this is flaming so nicely I might not cover it at all.

That's a nice finish you have there. I would probably opt to leave it naked myself.
Yeah, that looks great as it is. Nice choice on finish
