Hey Pablo, thanks! I'm enjoying making them. How have I attached them upside down? The part that the string goes through is at the top on the face of the headstock, or do I have the sides wrong?

It probably doesn't even matter, but they usually go in the opposite holes. Like this

Ahh I see, when I put them in I'll copy off my acousticit has grover heads so I will follow off that, thanks for the heads up, appreciate it!
Awesome work on the video diary! Looking forward to the next installment.
cheers,
Gav.

Thanks Andrew, it is coming along quite nicely.
Thanks Gav, I'm actually really enjoying the video diaries! Was weird filming myself at first but now I look forward to updating everyone![]()
Got 2 new vids about to hit the scene (waiting for upload) I've completed the sanding (6hrs ish total for neck and body) and have started the staining process!
Here is my 4th video - Sanding of the body. Now this was hard work! Just over 4 hrs of sanding... Went from 100-800grit and I can tell you the body looks amazing even without finish!

Here is the 5th video, I'm so in love with the colour! It has made the grain pop so well! I'm loving doing this build

Hi Shazz, coming along nicely. With the applying the Dingtone try not to overwork the rag and best not apply in a swirling motion but run the rag top to bottom like mowing the lawns.
When you blend the burst you have to swirl the rag a bit.
Give it at least 3 days to cure.
Look forward to the next video update !

Looking great Shazz. The uluru red really is a beautiful colour. Will be great to see that grain really pop with the intensifying coats. Enjoying the vids immensely.
cheers,
Gav.
