The guy I got the decals from reckons he can't print solid colours.

Turns out I can get ten vinyls for $15. Decals were threw for $25. Winning.
So while waiting for the stickers to get printed I did a final polish and glued the neck in. Looks like a guitar now!
looks great Andrew, presume with the bridge/tailpiece bushes in that you lined up the neck with the outer strings on before the glue set ?
Good deal on the vinyl stickers, so you wouldn't have got that deal and found a new supplier if you didn't stuff up the 3 decal logos !

Yeah mate all lined up. The measurements for the nut to 12 to saddle was all accurate. Now it's time to plan the next build. I wonder if we can custom order a baritone 7 string with a hard tail.
Neck is glued in, solid as and first meeting with the rest of the family. Only one day off being yesterday this week so didn't get as much done as I would've liked but thems the breaks. Pots are soldered on a card board template, just need to drop the pups, switches and Jack in, string her up and annoy the neighbours.
Sweet! That faux binding has worked out really well.

looking good Andrew,
pretty exciting stage of the build when you are ready to wire and string up.
Have you done any fret levelling ? You may be lucky and have a level neck

Not yet mate. Been researching it though. Going to wait til its strung up to see if it has any head notes and go from there. I saw a video of a guy placing sandpaper grit side up on the fret then sanding a fret shaped groove into a piece of soft wood to match the profile. Seemed like a good at home option without buying expensive crowning files.
