AG-1 perhaps i am Tony Iommi?

The back of the body is where i sanded through in a couple of spots. the TO and the wood finish gone and now reveal a little bit of the natural wood colour.

Im gambling on the TO yellowing over time and this becoming less visible.
It has yellowed a bit on past builds so ???….. hoping it will do the same here.

Ive been advised by my daughter that the phoenix on the back of the headstock is ugly and has got to go.

The smaller phoenix that i have put at the base of the neck is to cover where i have made an ugly blemish by sanding too deep and filling it with wood stain.

The small phoenix was supposed to go at the back of the neck but now it is there….doh!

I really like how the front and sides have turned out so all in all im pretty chuffed with myself!

That's turned out very nicely (imperfections and all). Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Hi Oli
Thanks for the nice comments on my SG. Keep pouring on that TruOil. It's starting to shine.
How's you AC/DC?
I'd be leaving the Phoenix. Looks very professional.

I meant to ask yesterday. Are you aware or the TruOil shine trick.
Once you get a nice smooth shiny TO finish, do two coats of 50/50 mix of TO and Turps.

oh no. just saw this. no i dont now about such. but it is too late as i have now attached it with Maguires polish ....doh!

I would stick with the Maquires now that it is on. I am sure it would as good or better shine.
I remember seeing something on YouTube about getting polish of with metho or turps. I can’t remember which.
I think it would run the risk of being patchy if all the polish was not off.
Good reason why you need to build another guitar so you can give it a try.
