Very nice! Guess I should check the neck fit on mine too, before I get carried away with anything else.

Thanks for the kind words @Brendan, @Scott, @Andrew @AJ, @Nick, & @Metalhead! Very excited to see how it comes out. Sanding is taking an intolerable time! @Wokks - I was referring to your confidence in my ability with the staining not the wiring dude !

cheers,
Gav.

hi guys,

Today I got the body sanded to 360 grit and grain filled with walnut timbermate. Grain popped pretty nicely and was finished off with 400 grit. She's now super smooth..




cheers,
Gav.

[wokkaboy]

nice one Gav that grain will really pop when you stain and clear it. What stains you using for this baby ?

hi guys,

I also got the top dyed today. I didn't go for the sandstorm dye in the end - I stuck with what I knew and went for a simple burst. There's a little glue down near the heel (i think, unless it's a something else) but no amount of wire brushing could budge it. Oh well, it looks OK nonetheless.

The colortone dyes were appled as follows:

yellow
vintage amber
red mahogany
tobacco brown.






A little more blending tomorrow and then I will go on to the sides.

cheers,
Gav.
