its just not fair that someones first build looks this good, nice work Hugh
Wokkaboy, I guess I'm just trying to work out what the best options for finishing off the guitar are. I'm pretty happy with how the DT finishing coat is turning out to be honest, but just wondered whether it would be better or even necessary to finish with tru-oil?? Just garnering some info really...
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

Another layer (possilble the last..) of neck finishing coat to the headstock/neck.
Unfortunately couldn't seem to get a good focused pics today, it was very sunny out and I reckon there was too many refective light sources? ...once i moved to the shade the pics were a littke better though..
I'll try taking a few pics inside when I get the chance..
Lovely work mate, that headstock grew on me, looks good and the finish is tops

Ok, I need some advise.. Some motling or spotting has developed in the finish.. I'm not sure exactly what it is.. whether it's something in the air thats settled on the wet finish or whether it's fibres from the cloths I used to stain it?? It had been humid here of late? Could that have an effect maybe??
Or something I've done in the Preperation/satining process??
Anyway.. HELP!!! haha... What do I do??
Looking good Hugh
Not sure about the finish, but humidity always seems to cause havoc with most finishes.
Perhaps a gentle sand and reapplication?

A closer look.. What do you think guys?
Hi Hugh, so that's the clear coat ? I'd rub it with fine steel wool (if it's been at least 3 days since the last coat) and re-apply. If you can find out what the humidity is probably not worth putting on a coat if it's around 70% or higher.
Also try using a lint free cloth to apply it. Lower grade rags/Tshirts I'd say some is coming off the rag and sticking to the finish
