I decided that 2 coats of the DT finish are enough for the body ... it's smooth, but still feels "woody", which is what I was hoping for.

I've now put everything together and I'm pretty pleased with the result.

I've still got some setup to do on it before it's all done.
Plays and sounds great ...
