That mock build looks great, don't know why they took so long to sell.
Looks like we'll be needing some more once you finish this one Euroa.

Now all I have to do is do it justice!Originally Posted by adam
Thanks guys for your encouragement, hope it looks as good as the after photos when its all done.
Today did lots of work on the neck pocket and heal, the routing in the pocket was pretty rough with lots of tearout and the neck sat in the pocket on an angle (sideways). After lots of filing and sanding on both all looks good. Checked the break angle and thats fine too.
After sanding to 400 I decided to whack some stain on the back to check the colour and what the grain was going to do. Turned out too pinkish for what I wanted so have now grainfilled and then will sand back and I may add a little red mahogany to the cherry red to get the depth of colour that Im after.
Gotta love rainy days when its too wet to do normal work!
And yes Wokka I'm practicing my AHa Aha... thankyou very much.
PS Has anyone tried GFS pickups they make a pretty cool looking goldfoil that fits a humbucker rout
looking good Euroa.
Most reviews I have seen of GFS pups have been good

Thanks robin, I had to sell an Ovation I had for ten years to justify buying this one, so under pressure to do a good job
Viva Las Vegas!
I added some fountain pen ink to colourtone cherry red to get the darker colour on my J Bass as also found the cherry on it's own was too pale and washed out looking.
Thanks waz, I just read your post about the ink, I used colourtone cherry red on this and it was way too pale. I bought the cherry for a custom job I did and mixed it with mahogany came out looking like redgum which is what he wanted, but I might have to try the fountain ink!
Almost a year a purchase one p90 from GFS and they sound very very good for the price so i would recommended. The electronics are CTS pots with PIO green russian capacitors...sounds classic, instead its on a epiphone sg junior that i buy for neck moding purposes.
sometimes you eat the bear....and sometimes the bear eats you
Thankyou Sansan nice to hear from someone who actually has tried them, I've listened to a lot of clips and they sound almost too good for the price, was going to use CTS pots and orangedrops but might see if I can get some vintage PIO caps
