    An interesting question is how much is the tru oil, how much the underlying pigment, and how much the wood itself.
    Build #1, failed solid body 6 string using neck from a scrapped acoustic (45+ odd years ago as a teenager!)
    Build #2, ugly parlour semi with scratch built body and ex Peavey neck
    Build #3, Appalachian Dulcimer from EMS kit
    Build #4, pre-owned PB ESB-4
    Build #5, Lockdown Mandolin
    Build #6, Sixty six body for Squier
    Build #7, Mini Midi Bass
    Build #8, Acousticish Telecasterish Guitar

    Good points Jim.

    On the MMB4 it was Basswood with Maple neck so therefore a very light coloured kit to begin with and next to no pigment in the timber. Latest shots highlight the ageing process after just 16 months.

    Yeah, it has been 16 months since last one was finished and it took about 18 months in total.

    Last year was a very busy year and had no spare time at all. Seriously thinking about a semi scratch build at some stage, just not sure when.
