Getting there.
I think the neck is done, and will just need Wudtone top coats. The front needs a little more reddy goodness, but I am happy with the burst blend.

BG - looking too good. May need to roust up the Bass Acquisition Squad and aprehend it before too long...

That does look the goods BG....you've really nailed the antique look.
Can't wait to see it with the clear coats on.
Great job!
Back is complete. I think- may change my mind.... I'm a terrible meddler...

Bass Guy - if you're happy, leave it... it's a bugger to take a layer off that you're not happy with...

Brendan,
One of the benefits of Shellac is that you can wipe it off with a bottle of metho. BUT. Shellac is a lot harder to get a nice even coat with My es335 RAW kit has become a nightmare with getting a nice even colour. I've even tried spraying shellac on it. 'BG' if you are reasonably happy then leave it. experience with trying to go that extra step with colour is that it rarely works out how you want it.

Well, I am committed to leaving it as is now. I have started to scrape the binding clean so I won't be tempted to meddle anymore.
