Cheers Dedman, congrats on GOTM, very very nice build.
Neverwas - this is simply superb well done. Love it.
I'm trying to work out what I like the best....the veneer, the headstock, those P90's....I just can't choose!!!
Has turned out wonderfully Grant, great job!Quote:

Hmmmm, very sweet and tastefully done. Got me seriously considering one of these as a next build.
Wow Neverwas! That is one beautiful guitar.
For me, one of the nicest builds I ve seen on the forum.
Love a good Firebird but this is on another level. Fantastic result.
Thank you very much everyone, too kind.
Have to admit liking the satin finish of the poly, no polishing - yay.
Waz, go for it, I think you've mentioned elsewhere doing a build with a mahogany body, the FB could be it.
Thanks again.
Grant
Very, very tempting and would probably do it in a dark cherry as I still have some stains left over from the J Bass build. Like the tobacco sunburst ones but not brave enough to do a burst. Did you ever try out the kit supplied PUP's mini humbuckers?Quote:

You should have a go doing a stain burst, not that hard to do. If you look up Big D Guitars on youtube he has some good tutorials, he tends to use Angelus Leather dyes but I've had good results using colortone and Feast watson prooftint stains, although with Feast watson you pull the colour out with Metho not water.Quote:
