    That looks fantastic. I'm a huge fan of the VH model, I have an OLP Axis which is great. Mine is purple too!
    Great job, and a wonderful start to the comp!

    I think Spychocyco has scared the competition off this month.

    Tough competition this month. huh? Can't be my build, though. Maybe everyone's just on vacation?

    Maybe in the Eurozone, not on the Australian side.

    15 days left this month. At least 10 more coats of oil to do. Then the build. Think I'll be looking at July before I finish.
    Mind you, given what everyone else is producing I'll just be there to make up numbers!

    FIrst proper build, so I'm looking at it as a learning curve, it's mostly 2-steps-forward-1-step-back, but sometimes it's more of a break-even thing! Skipping the self-deprication for a moment, the thing that has really shot my build is the fretboard; that's just never going to be right.

    I think extra points should be awarded for overcoming these problems.

    Overall it's coming along ok, but I do worry about whether the damage to the fret board will affect the playability when it's done. I shall find out in due course...
