Hello from Miami

[fender3x]

Welcome Fender3x, the guys here will go out of there way to help in anyway they can. Have fun building. If you want a natural finish you could try Tru-Oil. It's very popular, and does a great job. If you want vivid bright colours use Angelus leather dye's, so easy to use and works fine with tru oil or acrylic sprays.
Have fun
Kimball

Thanks Kimball. Considering wiping on thinned TO. Will check out the leather die. Would love to find something as non toxic as Dingotone. Don't understand why it won't cross oceans.

If you go with TO you wont need to thin it for at least the first 2 coats. The wood just soaks it up.

cheers,
Gav.

Box arrived today...about a week earlier than I expected it. Thanks to Adam for checking to make sure the neck pocket fit was good.

I have checked the neck fit. Seems quite good. Also checked to see that all the other parts arrived. They're all there. Have not done the complete dry-fit, but that will come.

First impressions are that the body is a beaut! Will move this to the build diary and other areas of the board now. Thanks, guys!
