Did some more this weekend I got the paint down and gave the neck some more clear. Its got a couple of pinholes and some of the grain is showing through but overall its pretty good just have to fix it up a bit then clear coat it. I went for a ice blue color. I would love a white mother of pearl pickguard, they have strat and tele ones in the store but not bass ones. I have seen some on ebay but would have rather spent my money here. gettin close now I am really digging some of the builds going on here as well.
