good one Doc, I think the build should be complete in about a month. Remember give the DT plenty of cure time or DB won't be very kind in the naughty warehouse !

I have some extra bits and pieces to order from PBG and Realtone anyway, so that'll keep me busy while I wait for the guitar to dry.
wise move Doc, when DB is upset in the Naughty Warehouse he has a cow prodder and a bloody loud PA system to tell you off ! haha

So, by my reckoning, the body should be ready for the intensifier coat this coming Tuesday at about the same time (10:00pm) as when I started applying the CG stain (48hrs).
Hey Doc, 48 hours should be enough, presume it's pretty warm in Darwin ?
40 degrees in Perth yesterday and almost there now

I found that out by doing a quick google.
haha thanks for all the weather stats Doc ! You forgot wind direction haha - don't worry !
Just out of curiosity, I took the gold bridge, jackplate, and the white pearloid scratchplate from the box my kit came in and placed them in their respective positions on the body, next I placed the neck in the pocket and had a look at the guitar, the gold colour of the bridge and jackplate and the colour of the white pearloid scratchplate works really well with the Coolangatta gold stain on the body with it's highlighted grain, this is going to be one good looking guitar when it's finished.
