Only buggered up the colour of 2 wires (will be able to see them obviously thru the f holes. Maybe I will colour them or wrap some black tape around them. And somehow managed a few nicks in the finish around the switches although I was being super careful and had it protected. Oh well, it was never going to be a showroom guitar anyways (many many other small imperfections / boo boos). Just a decent player that looks good - from a distance [emoji3] No Bette Midler jokes please.
Looks good with those extra switches though. are you gluing the neck after electrickery? or at the same time (I can't tell)
After, bro. Thanks . Finished the elecs last night and neck set today. Good times. Was pretty stoked I got the elecs in without anything going bad. I did have to trouble shoot once, when when the treble bleed circuit was touching ground. I pressed it up into wrong spot when locating the pot. Sorted that out quick tho.Quote:

Next on the list is to wax fretboard, string up and sand down the sides of the tusq nut to fit, adjust pickup height, check neck relief and see how she plays. I'll probly then string up with proper strings to intonate.
Also waiting for my guitar family domed output Jack cover thing to arrive. Should look a bit cleaner than stock one. Just been sitting in customs for ages, cleared now but won't arrive till post Xmas. Very impressed with the speed of that order, just AusPost letting me down...They got it out the door and in the country super quick. Quickest AliExpress order I've had by far. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...44a0749c41.jpg
Looks good. What sort of finish did you use? Spray can, wipe on PU, oil? And what did you use to polish?
I'm currently using a wipe on poly on my build. Haven't put on a coat for a few weeks though even though I'm no where near finished. I'm finding it hard to get a smooth finish. The warmer weather now might help though.
Thanks Man. Spray on PU. Cabbots exterior gloss. Comes up a treat.Quote:
