    Good going, how’s it sounding in it’s current state?

    It doesn’t sound like anything yet DarkMark, the strings aren’t that tight yet. I’d spent most of the day on it and I was starting to get vibes off the missus so I quit while I was ahead. I’ll try to tune it in the week but I have a busy work week with bosses coming over from the eastern states .
    At least it’s built now which I’m happy with .

    The finish on the neck looks great. Is that a tru-oil finish? If so, what sanding and application steps did you take?

    Yes it is mate, Tru oil all the way. I think I used 240 initially as there were machine marks on it. Then went to 800. I then just coat with Tru Oil and waited a day them 0000 wire wool if I could feel bits, rinse and repeat. I did the same with the headstock.

    Looks fantastic especially for a first build.
    What did you rinse it with?

    cheers, Mark.
