Oh yeah! A tortoiseshell accent piece and maybe the same in the TRC?

Now this a man of my own thoughts....

Can get pearl to match the fingerboard inlays...

Or some tortoiseshell binding in a shape of some description....

Or some plastic acoustic tortoiseshell sheet to cut up...

The existing binding is single ply....this is three ply stuff...

I think I will wait until she arrives before I make a choice.

Nice looking kit Ozz. Whatever you choose I'm sure its going to look smashing.

Thank you for the confidence Rob.....I am thinking like the headless bass I did....seal it up with CA Glue and perhaps some of that tinted Poly I have stashed as a top coat or two. Gloss body finish...gloss headstock finish...satin back of the headstock and neck for smooth play.

Perhaps the back of the neck and the headstock in satin polyurethane over a sealed and levelled neck......mahogany timbermate and some topcoat.

I have found a headstock template that matches the normal headstock. Most of them are 3 a side tuners or reverse with six on the High E side. But I think the factory shape will cut nicely into the headstock on this one.

This one is for sale upon completion....need to save some money for the next one and some bills.
