    Got some more progress shots for you all.


    I shaped the edges slightly so I could have a bare timber edge around the headstock, and the way I masked it seemed to work well enough. I've since applied the start of a new logo, but I think I've stuffed it. More to come on that later!


    At this stage, the back of the neck has had two coats of DT clear neck stain, it has since had it's first coat of clear DT top coat.
    I've filled the old holes with toothpics and timber glue. Most of the sections should be covered by the new tuning machines.


    Part way through the wiring up of the switches and pups. Pretty fiddly work with the 3-way switch, so I made sure to get that out of the way first!


    Hopefully will be able to get a sound out of it tonight if all goes to plan!
