Ordered it on January 5th and it arrived January 14th. So 9 days from USA to Mackay. Not too shabby really. Sometimes it takes me longer to get stuff from Sydney!

thats pretty quick from US, thanks Lozza, I suspect it will take a bit longer to get to way over the west !

Looking great Lawry. I know nothing about this pre-amp business. Well, I know what one is but not how they fit into the wiring of a guitar. Will be really great to see how it sounds! Ths is a really inspiring build. Keep it up!
Cheers,
Gav.

Another step forward today. The maple veneer I ordered to fill the fret slots has arrived.
Originally I was going to use Jarrah but decided it was too dark.
Anyway, I cut a bit off to try it out in the slots and it fits absolutely perfectly.
And I should have enough left over to do another ten guitars I think!
The pics are a bit dodgy cos they were taken on my phone.
excellent Lozza you must be happy with that ! Looks fantastic

Yeah. Really pleased Woks. I'm just about to shoot through for a couple of weeks so won't be able to do anything. It's nice to leave on a good note but I'm itching to get stuck into it. I'm also expecting the Wudtone to arrive any day, so when I get back I should be able to make some serious progress. A question for you... How did you do your spalt without getting any spill/bleed onto the sides?
Those veneers look a treat. Don't you love it when something just fits.
The fingerboard should look good with the maple filling the fret slots.
Totally agree Dan. And couldn't have asked for a more perfect match in thickness to gap.
I've also knocked out the nut in readiness for finishing the fret(less)board and I am wondering if I should update it with bone or a Tusq.
So here's a question for you all... What are your opinions and experiences with these?
Bone for tone according to DB. Also if you're going eau naturale for all the other bits - why not that one as well.
