DrNomis_44's Gold Standard STA-1M Build.

[ShazzRandom]

That's alright mate, you're forgiven, I don't drive so I'll have to hire a trucking company to transport my stuff to Cairns, what do you think of the way the body for my Strat has turned out after I applied the DT Coolangatta Gold stain?

Yay! you and DB are too good to me! Thanks guys
Ahh, that would cost a bit! And sorting out logistics isn't the greatest of fun... That's going to be my job when the move comes haha

It's come up real nice! The grain pops real nicely too! Looking like an excellent build doc!!

No worries ShazzRandom, I'm going to have to work out a budget for the move, and yeah the logistics of it will give me a headache I'm sure, since I'm a Virgo, I'll have to put my Virgo organizational skills to good use when it comes to getting organized to do the move although I don't see it happening very soon.

I'm very stoked and psyched how the grain popped so nicely for me, and I totally get what Wokka was suggesting with the Ebony Timbermate, it's such a simple technique but very effective, see I learnt a new set of skills.

I'm sure you'll nut it all out and make it happen one day

Yeah it looks awesome and works so well!! Wish I knew about it in highschool for my projects. Atleast it was learnt before going in a box!

Can't wait to see your guitar finished, Wokka reckons I've probably got another month to go till my build is officially finished.

Lol....fair enough, hang on a sec and I'll get a pic done.


Okay here we go, this is a pic of the body with the neck loosely in place in it's socket and the gold bridge, jackplate, and scratchplate in their respective positions:

Beautiful. I'm not a strat fan, but that is looking lovely Doc, it's going to be a stunner when it's done.

I reckon so too, I'm definitely going to have to buy myself a new Digital Camera soon so I can take some decent pics of the finished guitar, maybe in a couple of fortnight's time.

Dayum Son!
As I already said... Awesome sauce!

Only one question though, why the #*%* would you want to move to Cairns????

A good mate of mine lives there, plus the neighborhood where I live is not a very nice place to live, people have been stabbed and killed where I live, no joke, there's also been suicides too, not only that there's also drug dealers where I live, I'm scared to go out my front door barefoot in case I catch a serious disease from all the rubbish the other tenants leave around, together with all the broken glass.

Because its in Queensland.....and Queensland is the best

Ah, here we go, I can see where this is going...lol.
