My latest challenge arrived yesterday. A GR-1-SF with a mahogany body (apparently) as the suppliers ran out of basswood. My good fortune as the grain looks really nice on this one. I did the mock build to ensure everything was there & have laid out the electrics on a template to work out the distances of wire required to get it all into the body once I am at that stage. I also made a fret level gauge to make sure I have a perfectly straight neck before I tackle a fret levelling exercise. I was going to have a white finish on this beauty (white falcon style) but after coating it with some sanding sealer I am contemplating a natural finish to show up the grain.
