    Well, finally it's about done.

    I got sick of my tuners being on back order for months, and hit the retailer up to change over to some.. much more expensive.. Schellers.

    Pointless update time.
    The neck is coming along. I wound up making up my own colour for it. I put down the Dingotone Black Stump which really just looked dirty on the maple and didn't really darken...

    It will be. Apparently the neck is arriving today. Radius block I doubt I'll see within the next week or so.

    I'll see what happens. A little out of my already broken budget. I'd hope that a fretless neck might come in a little closer to right to go. We'll see I guess!

    I'm thinking I'm about done with the...

    I wound up ordering the PBG fretless neck earlier. I'll survive with the side dots.. I haven't been able to see frets when I'm standing up playing for the past 20 years, so the side dots will do me....

    I was thinking earlier whether or not I shouldn't just order a fretless neck and go right out there? That'd really make it something different. If nothing else, it'd save me having to level the...

    I revisited the wiring briefly last night and it all looks OK, so I suspect you've hit the nail on the head.

    I put some TO on late yesterday after about the 6th coat of stain (I used the sum total of about 25ml of stain). It took a few stain coats to get it to even out, but eventually I got there. It...

    OK. I reckon this is the roughest I've received (theres even splinter-worthy bits in the routing). I'll go easy on the heavy grit just to be safe and see how we're looking when I hit 320.

    Well, the kit arrived today.
    A little disappointing:
    - The "stripes" are blotched on the top so that really isn't ideal
    - The pickguard came screwed on. Possibly good for a rookie. Not good for...

    The bad:
    - The driver skipped when I was putting the bridge screws in, putting a hole into the finish below it. It's gonna take some time to fill and polish it up.

    I've never really paid any attention to DM's before. Might be time to add them to my list for consideration. I might wait on that until I see whether or not I can actually get a finish on this body :P
