Hi All,

I have to admit I'm late to post on here, got my guitar early Feb and still working on it.

I'm extremely time poor, have limited access to a desktop computer (except at work) and ran into some issues initially registering for this forum so it fell by the wayside while I started work.

I'm making the Tele Ash Kit with Maple Neck.

I'm not really that afraid of making mistakes and ballzing things up, although at the same time I want this kit to come out as best as it can. For me it's partly about the experience and the fun of the build (eg. having a project to enjoy and work on) and it's teaching me patience, of which I normally have little.

I've been documenting the build on instagram:

Using the Dingotone Coolangatta Gold for the Body, and the neck is the Acacia Finish.

I've used two Stain coats on the body, to get it as dark as I wanted. I've done two intensifying coats. The last one I overdid, so it's taking forever to dry and looks "gluggy" close up (although the colour is brilliant and looks great from a distance).

I shall be asking questions/help/advice

Cheers all!
