The clear coat is finally finished and I'm thrilled with the results. The "face" created by the quilt between the two pickup cavities is stunning, IMHO.
I'm going to let this cure for the rest of the week, and begin the hardware install next Saturday.
I'm so pumped!
Hahaha! That...looks...mad!
I’ll have to ask Adam for a face in the quilted veneer for my next order.

I like it!
Now off to the shop for a packet of jaffa's.
cheers, Mark.

Okay! The hardware is in. That said, the "Overlord of Music" bridge (who the hell came up with that?!) had its tuner's teflon spacers crack and fall out upon first string intall, rendering it nearly unusable. Without those spacers, the tuning pegs are impossible to fine tune, even with a screwdriver.
I have ordered an upgraded J-Custom tailpiece from Jeff Babicz' group, Headless USA. I'll keep you posted.
BTW - the depth in this finish is just crazy. It was a lesson in patience for sure, but sooooooooooo worth it.
Cheers!
I ended up getting the head piece, too. And you're right - I love it.
It even looks better.
