Yes it is, Gavin. Just need to scrape and steel the binding to clean it up, and then on goes the coats of Wudtone Extra Gloss with Ageing Tint.

Just realised the Crimson King has a doppelgänger: Trey Anastasio's main Langedouc guitar.

Hey Eliot. Doesn't it feel damn fine when you get to this stage. You can almost feel the strings under your fingers. Really looking forward to seeing the finished item!
