It is looking good. Just note that 6 coats is still a very thin layer. so be very careful when sanding.
Thanks folks, for the comments and the advice. :)
Interesting* aside. I think I am a bit heavier handed with the oil than most on here. So far I've used an entire 3oz bottle of sealant and about 2/3rd of an 8oz bottle of true oil. That's given me 3 coats of sealant all over, 6 coats of oil on the neck and 4 coats on the body. I'm going to need another bottle...
* strictly within the realms of this forum. ;)
Well, you have got a bigger body to cover.
The guitar's got a lot more surface area as well. ;)
Ba dum tsh!
I've moved down from a double bass to a cello this year. Will never become a violin but aim to get down to a viola.
I'm in danger of heading the wrong way from cello-sized...
Anyway, I decided it might need a scratchplate so I started to knock one up. Will need to do more work on the colouring obviously, but the real challenge is going to be figuring it out how to attach it.

Option A is obviously some 6" nails. Option B is the standard screw for the front corner and a bracket for the rear.
