    Amazing work guys - looks fantastic. I can't believe you wiped that paint on and achieved such a uniform finish. Can't wait to see it under the clear coats.

    cheers,
    Gavin.

    Here's Kerrie cutting out the headstock


    A mock build. Have learnt from experience to do this a couple of times to make sure everything sits where it's meant to


    Moments after the final assembly. Note the multitude of tools. It's definitely my favourite part of the process!

    And here's the final product!

    Looks awesome ,with the scratch plate did you cut one out and overlay onto another. Looks great

    Yep, exactly. Underneath the scratch plate is a light-gauge steel, back powder-coated cutout. It just didn't look right without some contrast behind it. If we could change one thing, we would have painted the headstock black too before applying the silver leaf. I guess we still could

    Well done Scott and Kerie, although by looking at your photos I should probably say Kerrie and Scott.

    A beautiful and unique guitar, and it's great to see a joint effort. Love seeing a family work on a project together.

    Quite right, Rob. Let there be no mistake about it; this was Kerrie's build. I was just there for the electronics and screwdriver skills
