Fretworn’s GTH-1

Looks great. How many coats of Tru Oil did you finish up with?

...I need to decide if I replace the knobs as they sit a bit high.

Can you add a washer (or extra nut) to each pot on the backside of the pickguard to close the distance?

Unless you really just dislike those knobs, another alternative is shortening the shafts.
They're just aluminium, so a bit of filing with a coarse file will bring them down pretty quickly. Or a cut-off wheel on a dremel is even quicker. Just mark how far you want to go with a bit of tape around the shaft.

It doesn’t sound great, but it is perfect for practicing at home or as a bench top amp for testing guitar builds.

I have a Vox Mini 3 that lives under the bench just for that purpose too.

About 10-12. I gave up counting. First half full strength, then 50:50 with gum turps. I don’t do as many as some guys do, but I’m never after a full gloss finish cause they show up every greasy fingerprint.....
