good progress SP, looking great
Love the colour, it brings out the grain. Yes im the same as you, you really got to know what your doing with tru oil and be very patient, im sorry to say thats not me! Wipe on poly, 2 coats a day, finished in a week, very foregiving, but ive got to hand it to the tru oil and dingotone boys, they are a legend....
mmm... the finish reminds me of coffee.
I'm loving my TL-1TB, it's really grown on me, just an awesome kit.
Man! Great looking build! I'm building the same model (my first build) as we speak...going with a metallic flake darker gray.
Not as far along as you are, but can finally see the progress starting on my end.
Just in case you aren't aware, the shielding paint needs to be connected to a ground in order to work properly. For the control cavity, you could run a bit over the ends on the top so that it touches the grounded control plate. For the pickup cavities, you are going to need to run some ground wires in - probably best connected to the paint via small screws that the wire can be wrapped around then screwed down - or else use a small washer under each screw.
You may have run, or tried to run paint down the connecting holes to join up the cavities - in which case check with a multimeter that you've got continuity. In theory, anything under 1 meg ohm should work, though the lower the resistance the better.
