yeah Nicko every time I ask Weirdy whats happening he says no more updates. Maybe he's too busy making custom wiring diagrams for the forum haha

I suppose I should get around to finishing this one... it still needs a couple more top coats (it's been hanging untouched for a loooong time). I haven't been able to do any building for a while but hopefully I'll be able to get the last coats on soon.

wow a Weirdy update !!

cheers bro, look forward to seeing this build finished

[stan]

your builds take as long as mine Weirdy!

Did you get the chance to finish this one Scott?

I was happy with the depth of colour after just the two applications of the Dingotone intensifying coat, so it was time to get some colour on the back of the neck. I would be using a Dingotone clear neck kit but I wanted an old, smokey, vintage style yellow/amber to contrast with the orange so I would be first staining the neck with a SM Colortone mix in metho. I wanted to see how the DT would go over the Colortone, and I used alcohol rather than water to minimise grain raising and reduce the chance of it messing with the edge of the headstock veneer.

Nice and smokey… the grain makes it look like it has a light and dark half.

Wokka was worried I was rushing it, so I've been pacing myself. Sometime this year... maybe.

haha good one Weirdy, so you are wiring guru and a comedian as well !

[WeirdBits]

Do I roll the dice?

[wokkaboy]

haha nice control knobs Weirdy and matching white switch tip. What does the mini toggle switch do ?
