PBA-4 Second Build

[JoelDee]

Thanks Jugg & Simon,

I spent last night and today on the neck just sanding my way up to 1200 and the first couple of coats of Tru Oil has really started to highlight that grain pattern. The body has a nice pattern too so hoping the amber of the burst will highlight it really well.

Some internet digging confirmed the pick up layout was OK, doesn't seem to be any 'correct' way but the wiring should come out the same side. I'll leave the nut for now, I've done some scraping out with a sharp blade but it seems to be glued in there very well so I'll take my time.

Hopefully that will be enough not to incur any damage extracting it.
Looks like dreaded 'engineered rosewood' from that shot so just as well.
(I think Dan has some history with that stuff).

cheers, Mark.
