    Drool! These black and white photos sure keep us in suspense. Can't wait for a first colour peek!

    cheers,

    still hitting it with clear.... I think I'm 1 or 2 away from a mirror finish



    got my wiring jig set up as well, will hopefully start on this during the week. It's all stock except for the switch which turned out to be broken, thank goodness I realized before I soldered it all up and installed it haha.

    haha, I cleaned it up before I took the photo... and deliberately didn't get the other bench in the shot

    got the wiring harness done this arvo, I'll strap it onto my diddley bow tomorrow to see if it works before I install it.




    I threw some white paint on the pickup surrounds and knobs as well.... just to brighten it up a bit

    Looks good so far. Because I am convinced I can see colour in black and white (even though that's impossible), I'm putting bets on gold bridge/tailpiece and blueish green stain with beigey-yellow binding.

    Keep them coming!

    it's been a while...

    I figured I should get around to finishing this beauty off so I've been cutting and buffing the finish up ready to start assembly

    I'm really stoked on the overall finish, it's like a flat gloss... if that makes sence.
