Thanks for all the tips. I have checked the body with metho and the top seems good. Yes I'm just doing tru-oil no stain, I think keeping it easy will help me make it look good. To sand it I have some 1500 sand paper - I figure the bigger the number the more it might cover for any over enthusiasm in my part!
I had a couple of goes at shaping the headstock. The first one involved a jigsaw and I wasn't happy, lucky they supplied enough wood that I could go to plan b which just involved a drop saw. I'm actually quite happy with how it looks. It's slightly angled and simple but neat.
Now I'm just hoping that Australia Post finally deliver the glue. It's apparently been 15min down the road for 3 days!
If that doesn't arrive I might do some soldering this weekend - or should I hold off on that?
Thanks again
Phil
