How can I get a glossy deep blue finish? Also any ideas about adding gold dust?

Okay, STA-1M kit ordered! I decided on the maple fretboard.

For the body I'm still looking at options for clear gloss acrylic, but I've found some ColorTone blue and black stains.
I'm thinking I want to

For the neck I've also ordered Colourless Dingotone Neck Finish kit and Dingotone Guitar Wax

I've added a bone nut, and upgraded the pickups to a set of toneriders (pure vintage)!

So while the kit makes it from WA to Sydney I've got to turn the garage into a workshop, and find some wood offcuts with grain to experiment grain filling!

Very excited!

good stuff Fred the build will be commencing very shortly.
Start a build diary when it arrives and do a mock build.
Nice upgrades you ordered
