Retrospectively beginning my build diary after working on the bass for the last 2 weeks. I have been a long time reader of the build diaries and have learned so much. This is my first pitbull build and after making a lot of mistakes in every aspect of my one other build - I very much class myself as a newbie.
Photo 1: Mock build and everything seems ok. Neck a little bit loose and a few glue marks but nothing too major
Plan is to go for a vintage amber look. So will stain body with feast watson golden teak and then figure out what to do for the coating later. Used blue painters tape to try cover the binding for the back and sides
Photo 2: Back and side of the guitar after 2 coats of FW golden teak
Photo 3: Close up of the side of the guitar. This is probably the best section with no stain getting onto the binding
Photo 4: This is probably a more accurate reflection of the remainder of the sides of the guitar re cracking and the stain bleeding into the binding. Will attempt to scrap binding once all done
