Wow... that does look nice.
Lost some time due to health issues, but I'm back! Hoping to finish this off quick smart and get a YouTube clip complete to spread the word!
Last night I did the copper shielding and the decal. The decal was pretty fiddle, definitely a job that I'm sure I can do better next time...still, I'm happy with the result.

Glad you're feeling better.
The Axe look great and I don't see anything wrong with the decal!
ps. if you're interested in the font, it's a MS Word font, called Deftone Stylus, available here http://www.1001freefonts.com/DeftoneStylus.php
It's more that it took 3 attempts, and at super close inspection, it isn't perfect...but only something I'd notice.Quote:

Really like the red on the body....looking excellent.
Decal looks fine, good choice of font.
Have used that font before myself on some of my signage....looks really good with a chrome effect added to it.
Looks awesum
Great job! love the colour and the decal. this is going to be one sweet build!
cheers,
Gavin.
OK, I finished it! My wife went to see Pink last night, so I had the place to myself for 4 hours...decided to just get stuck in a finish it. Full assembly complete, plugged in...and she sings!
Question: I need to do intonation and setup etc, but I've got serious buzzing on the D string. Open D is fine, but its hitting the frets around the 12th-15th...just for the D. The other strings seem ok (still not right, but action and setup isn't done yet).
Any tips on this? I think the frets around there might not be perfectly hammered the fingerboard, there might be a .5mm gap between the fret and the rosewood. The neck looks perfectly straight, so I'm considering adjusting the truss rod to have a slight curve. I'm also considering fret levelling.
Photos to come.
Check the frets to see if they are sticking up, check the straightness of the neck AND the frets to see if the neck has too much backbow, and check the frets to see if they are not touching the strings!
