    haha Arzi one of the moderators would have changed your avatar, do you like it ?

    don't worry whenever I log on I have no idea what my avatar will be as the mods love playing jokes on me - no idea why haha

    @ Paul the black stain looks excellent on the RC-4

    A prank once a day will keep the depression away...

    Two in a row and everyone will know...

    Three is a hat trick and at least one of them will think you're a pr*ck...

    Reason in all is best - unless you're Pest....

    That RC looks excellent. i went with the same finish on my ESB4. Once the varnish is on it really pops. Great work and glad you managed to overcome the knot issue.

    Thanks for the comments, spent the evening giving it a rub down and another coat of Rustins Ebony, after it dried i took a Stanley blade and cleaned up some of the binding to body and neck.

    Photographing the guitar is good for spotting stuff that won't show up under normal light but when the flash is used it helps highlight issues, Not happy with the neck splice on the head stock which shows a stark contrast in shades

    Nice bridge. I see you've already set the neck..... I hope your neck angle works out.

    Hey Paul, nice looking bridge, are these string through body or the string enters from the rear ?

    Before you do any routing to lower the bridge I'd clamp the bridge roughly in position and put your E and G strings on and check the string action to work out if you need to lower the bridge and roughly by how much.

    From memory Pablo's RC-4 build he had to shim the neck so the action wasn't too high ? He probably used a different bridge, can't remember
