    looking unreal Zandit. So you're using DT clear coats ? sure go for the intensifier. Get a few coats on will look sweet. Give it minimum 3 days curing between coats. It will go a little darker but not much.
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
    Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck

    Completed builds
    scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
    Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in

    Thanks Wokka, most appreciated.
    Yes, I am using DT, and that is only a single coat of the Clear DT Base Stain. I'm going to give it longer since we are experiencing a severe cold snap at the moment, we have received some snow here on the coast!
    Tonight I've been playing around with some logo designs. My brand name(even though I'm not selling anything!) is CQC, which stands for Custom Quaile Creations, Quaile obviously being my surname.
    Here are a couple of attempts in Paint. Which one stands out for you guys?

    Or #2


    None of these are set in stone, and I may come up with something else. I'm also not ruling out someone else's option either, so if we have a logo guru around, please feel free to chip in!

    Thanks Nitro, I don't mind this one, but for this build, I'm thinking just monochrome at this point.
    Thanks for the input though, most appreciated!
