Cheers Lawry!
Looking forward to putting on another top coat to see how it shines through
Build update: Neck finish first coat on, will do the fingerboard tomorrow night when this has dried

Are you going to shape the headstock? If so, it would be better to do it now before you go any further with neck finish
Current:
GTH-1
Completed:
AST-1FB
First Act ME276 (resurrected curb-side find)
ES-5V
Scratchie lapsteel
Custom ST-1 12 String
JBA-4
TL-1TB
Scratch Lapsteel
Meinl DIY Cajon
Cigar Box lap steel
Wishing:
Baritone
Open D/Standard Double 6 twin neck
agreed, Dangerman the headstock needs to be shaped before any more neck coats, you got any shapes in mind ?
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
Never fear, Fretworn!
Will be shaping it tonight, then applying the finish over the top. Thanks for the reminder though
I think the telecaster shape will be my aim... Although I may give it a bit more curves
sounds good Dangerman, probably best thing to do is to trace the paddle shape, photocopy it and draw/cut out a few shapes, stick each one on the paddle and see which one you like the best

Hey guys,
Build update: Finally finished my headstock design today... I know I was looking for a tele but mid-way through the filing I thought, why not be a little bit original?
So ive changed it up a smidge
I also received my pit-bull pick-guard today too (yay!) and so I have attached a picture as little tease
Oh and this is my headstock 8-)
wow Danger that pickguard looks excellent on the azure body. Are you using toilet rolls to prop up the body ?
I reckon about 50% of your photos you have your feet in there - good work.
Any headstock pics ?
