    I may even think about leaving the frets in your Hofner and not painting it pink......
    Come on DB - you're supposed to look after your friends!

    Don't worry, Pest.
    I will make sure there is a camera crew and body guards for my protection at the hand over

    Lots of sanding today.... all the way to 400 grit..

    Anyhoo, to break it up a little I did the headstock inlay.


    You will notice a few things..
    A slight gap around the edge of the inlay, this is deliberate as I want to highlight the out line with gold highlights.

    Some tear out around the tuner holes... bugga... as it turns out, no biggie as the tuner bushings will cover this.


    Note to self.. Don't forget to clamp a scrap piece of timber to the face plate when drilling holes...

    Trial bolt up of neck and pup placements...
