GOing to give it another round of 180 and then 240.
Should be right for the colour from Nitro then.
Looks great Eric what colour is the dye? No way to talk about your build. Guitars have feelings too haha

Dilemma time.
Im about to order a bridge, not a fan of the stockie and am getting a new set of pickups made and getting them shipped already installed into a pickguard with cts pots etc.
now, black or white?
Attachment 13060 vs Attachment 13061

my head says white and chrome....
Neck was pretty flat, only minor adjustment required.

Im off to NSW for a couple of days but this weekend, i should get time to mask and prep the neck before i start staining and oiling.
Eric
with the light coloured neck I think white and chrome
I always prefer light pickguard with dark body, so I'd pick white and chrome.
