Well thanks guys. I really appreciate your comments.
This build was certainly a challenge. A lot of firsts for me. I am glad it's done.
I started thinking today, my wife bought this kit for me for my birthday last year and it's almost that time of year again. I checked my order summary and laughed out loud. The order for this guy was made on the 6th of June 2013. One year later, to the day, I post the final pics in GOTM. Weird.

Said it once, and I'll say it again: you have an incredible build here.
Looking forward to see what people challenge you with.

Up until now, I personally disliked boards with prominent inlays.
This jobbie has changed my tune . . . .
Awesome work Pablo. Perfect colour chouces for this model. Just beautiful.
Cheers,
Gav.

Awesome looking IB1 Pablo, its been worth the wait - 12 months to complete. Azure matches the fretboard inlay so well. Look forward to a sound demo once its all set in. Have you got a tremelo cover or are you cutting a new one ?
You have set the standard very high already. Not sure what I'm entering this month

Once again, thanks for the comments fellas.
@Brendan, I made the truss cover from a piece of brushed aluminium engraving material.
@Wokka, 12 months from order. Due to backorder, some shipping difficulties and going overseas, I didn't end up starting until late September/early October. But still, long enough. I decided against a trem cover. I didn't like how the one that came with the kit fit, so I blacked out the bare wood and left it off. Not planning on putting one on. I kinda like being able to see the guts of it.

Great work Pabs, love the truss cover.
My alder tele finished in surfer girl and amber (neck). Upgrades are the pickguard, tonerider pickups, 6 saddle bridge and electronics.
