lol, yep he didn't specify any particular wood, but he may of implied maple (so it may not have the desred effect on pine. but worth the try). And the yogurt is plain greek natural style, only plain one I could get in a small tub from the local shop.

I eat tons of natural yoghurt. It's great for gut health (Crohn's sufferer)

will be interested to see the results!

Been slowly chipping away at the neck now.. Tried my hand at doing a pearl inlay on the head stock.
The inlay sheet (veneer) I purchased was super thin and fairly sparse on "shell in it" so I removed it and just planted some wood veneer in the hole it left.. Should I keep it or sand back and just veneer the whole of it?
Neck back blended color to match body -finished ready for cut n polish

that looks great AJ, I'd leave it as it is. The inlay is subtle but looks cool

[WeirdBits]

I kind of like the way the inlay looks AJ, subtle but still visible. It would be interesting to see how it looks with the tuners in place, not sure if it will highlight or hide it more with all the bling around it. The finish looks great.

[AJ]

Ok, will leave it as is then.

AJ,
Weirdy has a good point I'd put the tuners on and see if the inlay is highlighted or hidden, but sure it will look cool. So chrome bling for this baby ?

[AJ]

will be the chrome bling that came with the kit matey.. I tend to think it may stay subtle with the bling.. which is what I think will be a bit better than sticking out like a sore thumb.. A good learning curve for though.

[wokkaboy]

yeah AJ once its all strung up and hardware on I think this will be a stunning axe

AJ, this guitar is going to look absolutely amazing. The finish on the body is perfection. Well done mate.
