@Franken thanks! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
On a side note, look at what arrived this morning...
Noice one Simon.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Thanks DB. Any tips for storing the wood I just got from StewMac? I shifted them to a storage room and put 2 sticks underneath to help with the airflow but not sure if that's enough.
@wokka lol you're being cheeky!

hey Simon, me cheeky, you have the wrong bloke LOL
storing timber, best store in a room that has a steady-ish temperature and humidity if possible.
I usually store in a room that is away from afternoon sun if possible.
think of the timber as cellaring a fine red wine
I think your garage is probably ideal, assuming there are apartments/rooms above ? Should be a nice steady temperature there

Haha ok I got the wrong bloke.
I live in a typical Sydney apartment in a block of 8 units, and we have a garage, where I do my work, and a separate storage room. I also have an enclosed balcony which gets plenty of air flow but probably has the greatest fluctuations in temperature and humidity.
So do you reckon the storage room, which has no sunlight but only some air vents (makes a great area to hold a prisoner btw :O ), would be the best choice? I think I might purchase a hygrometer to check the humidity.
I was going to say your garage area looks a dead ringer for a block of flats i used to live in in Rozelle. But i guess that was how they all looked for that era.
Haha yes I think most flats here look very similar!
Some updates - my black hardware have arrived from China. I already sprayed the neck plate black and finished all the coats. Now I'll have to wait 2 weeks (or maybe 1 if I'm impatient) before assembly. Can't wait!
Where is the subscribe button!!?!? IS that an Ebony FB blank and Quilted Maple? Are we looking at another Super Strat Build?
