    Thanks! I'm sure yours will turn out great as well. What kind of wood is the body made of?

    ran into my first problem

    I just noticed that the posts for the bridge are different. I think this will be a problem.

    I know colin2121 had the same issue.

    Is there someone specific I should contact about this?

    As Simon indicated, contact Adam.
    He will post some replacements.

    The neck is almost done.

    So I think i'm almost done with neck.

    I just need a few more coats of wipe on poly to make the decals disappear.

    More work on the body.

    After adding Ebony stain to the grain filler and sanding it back, I put on one coat of Saman's white wash water based stain.

    I really like the way it looks but I'll need to darken it a bit so that it fits with the look of the neck.

    Body work continued

    Once again I sanded back some of the white wash stain and it gave me a really cool, blueish grey, white in some parts of the grain. I then wiped on and immediately removed a little more ebony stain.

    The look was unexpected but I like it.
