    Today bridge placement done (holes drilled) and neck alignment checked (holes drilled). So yes, it took a whole afternoon to drill 8 holes.... but anyway, on to bigger things tomorrow hopefully. Thanks for all your help FW

    Been madly researching different finishes I could go for. Really love the look of the Wudtone finishes on lots of guitars on here... is there any replacement since PBG no longer stocks it, or even just something similar available elsewhere? Alternatively, some of the colourtone dye stuff looks awesome so I'll look into that too.
    Also, I love the look of having a different colour face to back and sides but not sure how this would work without binding to separate the colours :/
    Ahh decisions, decisions
    Looking to find a colour something along the lines of this - but maybe a bit more blue. Any tips?

    If it took all afternoon for you to drill 8 holes then you are doing well. I am in the fourth month of a dingo tone finish! (Mainly due to my own time constraints and inherent self distractive tendencies......oooh look! Squirrell!!)

    You are more than welcome, I asked similar questions and many of the more experienced hands helped me out and pointed me right with advice along the way. You just help out where you can, and in due course you'll likely do the same for another newbie when the opportunity arises.👍🏾😃

    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
