    Thanks all. The wood of the body is lovely and the dingo tone certainly does it justice!
    Putting the colour on has highlighted that I'm not happy with the shape of the lower horn. I got a router from cash converters recently so it seems like the perfect opportunity to learn how to rout! We'll see how it goes. What could possibly go wrong...

    Also, there's a couple of glue joins that are pretty obvious so I'll try to fix those over the weekend.

    The real problem I have is that I am now planning my second build - and the electronics are probably 2 or 3 times the price of the kit!

    Just caught up with this one and very impressed with what you have done.

    Gotta love Ash bodies with all that gorgeous grain to work with.
