Thanks boys. A labour of love... until I get tired of it.
Yeh i can dig it, i have a few guitars in the rack that i just cant be bothered with now, after spending alot of hours getting to where they are, one day they will be back on my bench.
By the way, this is the finish I'm going to attempt - but with gold hardware.
It's a Maton BB1200JH. I own this guitar, not the one pictured, but it's identical.
I can't justify owning a $4k guitar at my age/ability. Hence the attempt to copy the essence of it. I'll be selling the JH in the near future if anyone's interested.
My first 2 builds (both PRSs) are practice runs for my third build - which will be an ES-2V. Inspired by the above Maton. All my builds will have the same finish for the following reason...

I just looked through the gallery and there aren't any PRS-1TS completed builds in there.
Have you sold many Adam?
Hi Muzza,
there's a good chance Ads has sold some but not everyone does a build diary and uploads to the gallery.
I remember about 2 years ago a woodworking magazine did a review on that model, I may have a copy somewhere

Hi Muzza, remind me next week, I have never been so under pressure at work in 30+ odd years of work
the search function isn't very effective. I'd read through all the titles in the Build Diary section

No hurry, take your time. Look after yourself. I know what it's like to be under the hammer at work.
