    It's had it's first drenching with the N.C.R Oil, I will give it another coat tomorrow and then do a wet sand with Boiled Linseed Oil before applying a final coat of N.C.R Oil. Then off top the buffer if all looks like it's holding up! I want it to look relic'd in terms of the finish but it will be properly sealed, etc. I have another set of EMG's's I'm thinking of putting on this one.

    you sly dog Gav, think you edited your comment and MINE to say EMG's. You wrote EMC's so I presumed it was a typo !

    Quick update
    I think I have the final coat on of NCR Oil. Looking good. Have to let it cure. Doing some work on the neck at the moment and also experimenting with my own take on finishing solvents. If I fail? If I succeed? At least I'll live.....OMG - too much time in the Art Gallery lately!

    I am thinking....of something really different.....but maybe overkill....may disclose later!

    In the meantime, i have installed the PBG bridge and positioned the midi.....attached the output plug ( the big black unit) to the strap holder.
