I thought I might as well enter it.
Here is my ESB-4SC.
All stock except for the insulated wire, orange caps, flatwound strings and the Trust rod cover.
Finished in black Keda dye and True Oil (sorry!!!)
The neck is absolutely awesome and she sounds pretty good too!!!
Thank you for watching...

A good variety of guitars coming in this month and I'm liking them all!
I was going to ask if basses were eligible... apparently so! I hereby enter "Kilmister One" my Lemmy tribute RCA-4. It's basically all kit, aside from the flamed maple trussrod cover, walnut pickup ring and walnut control cover. It's the ash body, handcarved "Lemmy" and oak leaf clusters. I used a marquetry purfling on the boundaries of the carved areas. The colors are minwax stains. There are a few different ones on there. The finish is a couple coats of the very naughty Tru Oil, steel wooled between coats. I didnt want a plastic finish due to the organic nature of the bass... here are some pics... thanks for looking!
A few more...

Here's my Contribution.....given the outstanding quality of the competition i do not sand a chance although i am proud of my first build.....unfortunately i have not got the headstock decals sorted yet.....as i amstill working out a design....any way, here is my attempt to pay homage to one of the forefathers of the guitars.....Leo Fender with my interpretation of the original Broadcaster......
I tried to keep this build as clean and simple as possible.....clean lines, pure wood singing through and wow.....what a tone....
Build details are as follows:
TLA-1 kit....
Grover Locking tuners....
Schaller Black Strap Locks.
Tone Rider Vintage Pups...
Wilkinson Ashtray Bridge.
Black through body ferrules.
Bone Nut... ( Observation - Wanted to go Graphite with the nut but didn't think it fitted with the look.)
Naughty Oil as the only body treatment after the grain was filled with a cedar timber mate...
D'addario 10's (Sorry the slinky,s are too light for me)..
Anyway , for the pictures:
The grain looks flippin' amazing.. "The Biz" as they say... lol (Im trying to assimilate!).. nice work!
