Here is my build. It has been great fun.






Some info.
TL-1R
No upgrades - except for addition of some Ernie Ball straplocks. Otherwise out of box as received fom Pitbull.
BODY = 1Coat Dingotone Nullabor Ochre, 1 coat intensifier, 4 topcoats. Then Dingowax.
NECK - Started with the colourless Dingotone neck finish but topcoats were very patchy, so sanded back until even and applied an acrylic finish - result has lovely smooth satin feel.
Decal is anagram. Decal was ordered from Rothko and Frost.
Fretboard finished with lemon oil.

Thanks. I am absolutely stoked. I had a mate who is a much better player than me give it a whirl yesterday - it sounded fantastic and I recorded it on my phone. I had planned to make up a build diary video and use the recording as backing, but just ran out of time due to work pressures ! Will try and do sometime next month. Feel inspired to try an LP build now !
