    Looking good Bassguy!
    One suggestion though, it would be a good idea to colour the bridge rout out as you wont want white timber showing through!

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    As I said earlier, watching this with interest as I wait for my IB. Like what you've done with head stock, very nice!

    Couldn't resist-the third and final coat of deep colour. Awaiting a vicious sand back.

    That's looking really sexy BassGuy. Some interesting grain action going on there.
    Cheers,
