wow Tim, both the body and the headstock look sensational! The honey really brings out the beauty of the spalted maple. This is going to look amazing with the clear coats on!
cheers,
Gav.

You've scored a fantastic cap on that beastie, Tim. I reckon the yellow/amber/orange colours really show off the spalty bits too. Great choice and looking hot!
Tim looking amazing - I can understand not wanting to go the burst - with grain like that it'd be criminal to take anything away from it!

Tim, agree with the others, you've really scored with that grain (it is a lucky dip), so go for a subtle finish to bring out that grain.

OMG.... That would have to be the most stunning spalt top I have seen in our kits! You lucky, lucky bugger!
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Thanks, guys. It's turned out better than expected already, and the comments are very encouraging. I should have a little more faith in my ability. Definitely keen to start another kit now!
This is a beautiful LP, Timsan. Loving it!

Just a little teaser - the final colour coat went on today.
I'm heading to Rockhampton on Wednesday, so I'll put a gloss coat on tomorrow and then post a couple of pics when I get back.
Why on earth would you wanna go to Rocky?
