If you don't have the right tools to cut string slots best to buy one pre cut otherwise things could end up messy and less than perfect.

Did you have to water down the shoe polish somehow? The neck must smell "interesting" now.
(BTW, I don't think that neck is mahogany, the grain looks like the Chinese maple the rest of the necks are. I could be wrong, but I've never seen mahogany that looks like that.)

No just used a cloth similar to any oil, but small amounts, many coats as wokka said if you see earlier pics you get an idea. Neck smells like a Footy boot. Got the idea off another site. The idea is too keep the neck very resonant. But also a way to explore cheap ass options, the idea behind this build is cheap hacks so to speak.

Hey Fretty I reckon the neck is mahogany, if you look at the pics posted before look how much darker the headstock is compared to the maple fingerboard. Could be wrong

I once was forced to Skoll a complete pint from the 4th Grade premiership trophy we had just won. Pretty sure that hadn't been cleaned since the last time it had been awarded (or possibly the first time it had been awarded). I imagine that would probably be in the same league of grossness.

ahha funny story Franken, you should have at least had the trophy rinsed before the pint was poured. There was probably cobwebs, dust, dead insects in there - ewwwwwwwwwwwwww
What was the sport Franken rugby ?
