Getter closer to the finish line.......
This baby has had plenty of curing time and come up as smooth and shiny as glass. Just a couple of touch up spots required where I polished a bit too hard and started to see timber underneath plus the inevitable scratches from adding and removing hardware to line things up for drilling positioning holes.
Thought I might as well do the cavity shielding, ran out of snail tape and couldn't believe that not even the BGSFOS was open on our local Labour Day Public Holiday!!!
Local Woolies was shut too but a long shot as to whether they would have what I needed besides the usual milk & bread supplies.
Also discovered that Tonerider Vintage Classics have a slightly oversized base plate that required a little bit of delicate chisel work to make it fit....there goes all that snail tape. Will have to buy some more on the way home from work tomorrow night.
Had the neck bolted on and tuners loosely fitted to help with positioning the bridge and surprised at how light the Alder body is. Also pleased with how the neck & body colour scheme blends into one another and saving that shot for the final reveal.
