So I may be a bit premature in starting my build diary while my order is still winging it's way to the UK, but my excitement about getting started is growing.
I don't have much to share at this stage but I have been experimenting with stains and finishes on scrap wood. The current plan is for the top to be blue with the back and neck the amber. I reserve the right to change my mind though!
I came across the picture of the PJD Carey Elite in a back issue of Guitarist magazine and it helpfully confirmed my intentions.
