    ah ok fair enough Gav, thanks for the background for the decision. Everyone has had to sand back enough builds to have to do it again !
    Should be a very cool axe with your GFS upgrades. Was the headstock pre-cut ?

    Yep pre-cut with a rosewood fretboard. Would have preferred maple but whatever. I have already finished the neck and headstock in vintage amber and it's looking and feeling pretty awesome .

    cheers,
    Gav.

    good one Gav, rosewood fingerboard always goes good with seafoam. If the neck feels good you are on the way to having a sweet sounding and playing axe

    @wokks, @nick, @andrew, @stan - thanks guys. Trying to look for suitable embellishments, but I'm liking the solid colour as is anyway..

    cheers,
    Gav.
