    Looks almost Stradivari... you've really outdone yourself with this one BG.
    Cheers,

    Thank you everyone, I am quite disproportionately proud of this one as I went into it with quite a bit of worry and trepidation about getting the sunburst right.

    Gollum can't wait to get his mits on it- he's been privy to its progress. Photos to follow.

    Yay, the move is all done (almost) and I can set about finishing the Gollum bass. Here it is with hardware attached and ready for wiring.

    Looks great Eliot! Nice work! Think it needs a name on the headstock like Precious!

    sweet looking bass BG, hopefully the wiring shouldn't be too hard, not sure how much is pre-wired.
    Does that pickguard need mods so it fits flush against the pup surrounds ?

    @wokka- yes it does officially, however I am going to see how/if the pickguard gets in Gollum's way before modding or replacing it.
