awesome Dave Grohl tribute axe Mr Mayhem love it. I've seen Foo Fighters live about 3 times and they have been some of the best concerts I've been to.
You did a good job to fill the F holes and cut new diamond shape holes. Are the neck fret markers stickers ?
Bet your son must love the axe. Sure he will grow into it and be playing some Foos chords soon !

Ok, So this is my first PBG build and not the last, if the wife doesn't kill me first. After a false start but some great help from Adam, this is the result. I added a few aftermarket bits and pieces including a Dingo bone nut, aftermarket knobs, Grover Mini Locker tuners, a Tonerider Hot Classic neck p/up and a Kent Armstrong Dual Rail bridge p/up in a modern bridge. I finished it in Tru-Oil (love the stuff!) and Dingo Neck Finish. I was unsure about how much to sand the veneer so maybe a bit more next time. Anyway, it was great fun, very satisfying and I got a new guitar to play! Thanks to Adam for all the info and help with the neck. Hope you all like it.
The headstock is awesome! lovely guitar - the finish is yummy. never been a fan of tele's but this one is a treat.

Thanks Depicted Minds. Don't sell yourself short either. That's a nice LP too. I reckon you're in with a good chance.
Here is my entry for the guitar of the month competition
TLA-1 kit build, ash body given a few coats of sanding sealer and then some shoe polish to bring out the grain, before sealing with wipe on poly
Came out a lot better than expected and I think the images don’t do it justice
also made a build diary (still editing the video) for anyone who may be interesdted
