Haven't done an update for a while, here's a pic after 3rd clear coat has cured, I've ordered some gold hardware to see how it compares to the chrome. Gold tuners and bridges are on their way but the gold jacks arrived. Will see how it looks with the full gold hardware when it arrives. Since the pic got the 4th coat of clear on

Wokka DUDE!! That is a piece of ART! Your best yet!

Great stuff Wokka...the gold hardware should enhance it even more...stunning stuff!!
The only thing, after looking at the above photo, that lets it down is the neck.
Sorry Wokka, my stupid humour...
Well done.
Cheers,
Andy
@ Andy, haha yer the neck needs a bit of work hey, fill the holes, sand it down and install the frets, its a bit narrow but hopefully no one will know (until they try a high E 21st fret bend !)

Wouldn't bother me then Wokka...I don't go below the 5th fret
@ Andy, there's a problem with the length of the neck (only about 100mm longer than the photo shows) so I might have to make a 5 fret neck ! Not sure how intonation will go !

Aww Man . . . what lovely body you have, pity about the scrawny neck.
IMHO gold would be the absolute right choice to complement the rich tones on that bod.
The guys are right - probably your best yet. GOTM?
