    it has been long and winding road. over this month, just kept repeating work on the neck and body sanding, coating clear, waiting for drying out, wet sand over and over again... and it was painful experience when i found something wrong on coating, "Burn through"... not once, but several times.

    however, i am sure this is the way i learn how much need to build up coating and how sensitive to sand it down it with huge patience.

    i wanted texture of tru-oil on neck, so i applied 3-4 coat of TO and applied with Urethane water base varnish with brush to build-up thickness on it. finally finished by a few coat of poly urethane spray easily to make flat surface for polishing.

    And I have blank bone nut block, so i tried to make one, following StewMac instruction.
    again, sanding sanding sanding...while refering to instruction, i imitated the stocked nuts attached to the kit.

    next will be installing machine head...

    Great work, Toshi. You'd gone very quiet for a while and I was hoping you weren't ill or anything.
