Euroa, that cherry red stain looks wicked, well done. Some nice upgrades too. What clear coat are you using ?

looking forward to hearing this
Thanks Wokka, I usually use (and probably will on this) Mirotone MIROCAT PC 3220 Clear Topcoat with this I can add more stain if required or even add some vintage amber for a more aged look, especially over the binding. It also buffs well to a high gloss.:)Quote:

I forgot to remove the clear plastic cover on the pickups when I took the photo, the quality of the chrome work looks really good and great against the gold foil should look awesome in the guitar, hope they sound just as good:)Quote:

Neck heal shows material to be removed.
Thought the new pups felt heavy for a single coil all be it in a humbucker case, scale weights are interesting when compared to kit supplied humbuckers ??
Not sure yet how to attack the fretboard, the mots inlays are crooked from about the 12th fret on, was going to replace them with either gold mop or pink mussel and stain the fretboard ebony.
The dilemma is should I remove all the frets for easier access to inlay and for sanding filling staining etc and refret, given also that the neck is bound?
All thoughts and suggestions welcolme!:)
coming along well Euroa, to replace the fret markers and stain the fingerboard ebony would be best remove the frets. If you do it carefully and tag each fret with some tape and number it you may be able to re-use them and knock them back in
Thanks Wokka, I was thinking along the same lines considering how much work I have to do on the fretboard, there is a little pitting on some of the frets so will probably replace them if I go down that track, have you tried removing these block inlays before?Quote:
