That looks like a fun kit
Very Schmick Oz!
I didn't know it came that way, thought you did that...Quote:
One question.....can anybody place the headstock design?
It reminds me of kind of a cockeyed Ovation headstock.
Nah mate it came that way......I have seen that headstock design on a couple of other kits sites over the years....but can't place it.Quote:

The body shade does not really matter at this time as it will be died. But, the neck is looking okay with just the shellac. I have just checked all my Tru-Oil and it has all either gone lumpy or dried up in the bottom of bottles. I have ordered some of the unlabelled Tru-Oil from PBG.
I really don't know whether I want to apply a stain to the neck and headstock. Tru-Oil and then the spray satin poly will add a yellow/brown shade to the finish. I am worried that the finish may go too deep as it did once before for me.....colortone amber is quite strong.
What do you ladies and gentlemen think????
After above.....before right here.
The build thread......colortone amber stain...about ten coats of tru-oil then auto waxes.
