Tristans FV-1

sounds good Tristan,
any photos of the 1st coat ?
Have you done the front of the headstock in carmine ?
the forum love photos in build diaries !

Yup, will take photos tomorrow, and the whole thing is carmine gypsy, neck as well as body.
I like V's and other Gibson styles to have the same neck colour as on the body.

cool Tristan, sure it looks sweet. So you bought vintage yellow neck and haven't used it ?
the necks do look orsome in vintage yellow as well, trust me !

Hey Pest I just clocked up 300 posts and Gav is beating you at the moment - 913 versus Gav's 920 !

Yup man, the vintage yellow and another order of carmine gypsy are either for a strat refin or another kit. preferably another kit of the telecaster variety. Luckily my 18th is coming up so there may be a tl1 in my future. :)

ur joking Tristan, we got another youngen in the forum, when do you turn 18 ?

Late July, the day before I go back to uni I'm afraid.

bad timing Tristan but 7 weeks uni break - most workers can only dream of a break like that long.
wait till you get a full time job thats about 2 years annual leave !

what course are you studying ?

Secondary Education - Music Teacher, it's a good course though a lot of the theory is dry and the music subjects have bee simple so far.

ok good choice should be a fun career and teachers get about 51 weeks annual leave a year ! haha just kidding, but heaps more than 4 weeks annual leave.
Got to start with the basics I spose. Would you be lucky enough to teach guitar as a teacher ?

I don't think I'd be qualified to teach guitar for some time I'm afraid!
I'm a late convert to the guitar, I've been playing trumpet for ten years and only recently (Year and a half ago) switched to the greatest of instruments.
