Since my preamp showed up on friday, I realised it wasn't all going to fit in the control cavity as it was. Couldn't make the outline of the cavity any larger with out going outside the boundary of the cover, so some of the internal structure had to come out. Chisel time!
Not the prettiest solution, but it all fits now, so..... whatevs. A quick touch up to the sanding and back on track.
The search for the right shades of colour took quite a few attempts, better to spend time prepping than being unhappy with the result and having to sand it all off and try again. Got there in the end, super happy with the colours and the mix.
Started on the back, and went a tad heavy handed on the outer layer.
Not bad, just a touch more than I was after considering the real estate of the pickguard on the front. Tonight I will sand it back slightly and re-stain to try and even it up.
