    Hey Mulldoe don't rush the assembly, give the TO at least 2-3 weeks final curing - it is worth the wait for it to fully harden before you start polishing and assembling

    A three week stretch in the NW for using poo oil should give it enough time to cure

    Otherwise, that is looking schweeeeeeeet!

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    I am so tempted looking at this kit to just go and plonk some cash down. Either this or the SV kit. Dagnabit! Thats another two builds in the plotting now!

    Cheers for the advice wokka and db, I am going for a satin finish on the neck and in my experience with t/o about a week is enough time before a hit with steel wool........if it is in low humidity. So that said, fret job.

    Tuned and set the trem on this to c# for those nice thumping metal tones, and I gotta say, it sounds pretty sweet. Anyway, cheers for following along all.

    Take it easy,

    Mulldoe
