Sweet, I've been hoping someone would be doing a build diary on one of these! So much potential for awesomeness....
what colour/colours are you going with for this bad boy?
black magic woman with gold highlights,hope it works,always had to be black tho!
Yummy... Sounds like it will be an Axe that you are always going to rely onQuote:

Really looking forward to seeing the finished build. If I was a guitar player I'd be building one of these myself.
Good luck Tigertune!

Looking forward to updates!
Finally got going on this project after a couple of hiccups,I discovered that the saddle part of the bridge was missing,very quickly fixed by the guys.About the second time I took the neck out of the box the nut fell off,easily fixed.I have been doing a lot of research into how I want this guitar to look.I've decided that I want a clearly defined bevel around the outside edge,so that means sanding,I used a few different houshold items for curved sanding blocks,hpoefully the photos show it.I was going to Wudtone but now i'm only using it on the face of the body and doing the rest black with a clearcote over the whole thing.I know I'm not going to get the accoustic benefits,but I dont think this will be the guitar for love songs.

looking great, I also like the way you "re-defined" the edge.think it will make it stand out nicelyQuote:

I think it looks great - are you planning on highlighting the edge in any way?
I really like the beveled edges too . . . I think they suit the body shape perfectly.
Also interested to see how the BMW with highlights turns out, also the solid coloured sides?
Looking distinctly wicked 8O
I was hoping that the high gloss black would do that.
Having let the deep color dry for a long time,time to add a base coat.At first I was going to apply the gloss black up to the inner edge of the bevel but when applying the wudtone I decided to go to the outer edge,maybe it will make the face stand out more.I was think of all black hardware but am a bit put off by the cost.Anyway second application is starting to make the grain stand out nicely.
