    looks unreal DK, love the combo of CG on the quilt and black stump on back and sides. This is gonna look choice buttoned up. So gold hardware is going on ?

    Check post #5 for the planned spec, I do have all the gold bits just can't do the correct white pearloid tuner buttons at the moment but might retrofit the custom shop correct Klusons later on

    Looking great Dave! The CG has come up a treat, but that Black Stump looks really nice. Highlights the grain on the back really well.

    Looking good, Dave. The back looks dark enough. Plain black would be boring.

    Well I'll be stumped (pun intended) as it seems really hard to get a dark shade of black?

    Still looks good Dave and there is some nice grain poking through on the back too.

    Cheers, Waz

    I don't know whether this is the beginning of the burst or the beginning of the end

    Started with CG with some BS added

    will need some more massaging DK, Maybe you should have started with a thinner burst. It's important to really work the blend line when both stains are still soaking in. Next coat just try working CG and blend the transition
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
    Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck

    Completed builds
    scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
    Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
