Hi Peeps,

Long gaps in between updates are pretty much de rigeur for me, but hey...

Things continue to move forward - I can see the finish line now.

Over the past few weeks I've been:

- clear coating body and neck
- applying the Rothko and Frost decal that (finally) arrived
- fabricating pickguards
- wiring electronics

As of last night I have the body buffed to a high shine and I've started to fit hardware. It's looking good! I have a couple of items still to solder and then I can test the wiring.

After that, it's time to flat and polish the neck and we can make some noise!

Attached are some images of pickguards - I started with matte black but it wasn't right, so ended up with cream pearl

Pickguard is my own design, stealing themes from the LP junior.

More images to come tonight.

Hi folks,

A bit of radio silence from me, but much progress happening:

- I've almost finished the neck.
- I am adding lacquer coats to the body.
- I've designed and templated a pickguard.
- I've finalised the hard mounting of the humbuckers.

I have ordered a water slide decal from Rothko Frost, but they seem to be having trouble with delviery - first one lost, second one MIA.

Does anyone have a recommendation in Aus for this kind of thing?

Wow, I’m liking that. Nice work.

OK, I'm calling it...

Done (Drops Mic)







A very big thanks to all the guys here who have helped me with advice along the way. I've learned from my mistakes but I'm stoked withe the result.

I'm down to the fine tuning now. Intonation, etc but it's sounding pretty good out of the box.

Thanks Frankie, TK, Sonic and IllGiveItAGo.

Lots of great support and advice in these here parts, makes the job easier.

That is unusual, I'd check with Adam, perhaps you got the one in 500 that was a bit thin. I've used the Pitbull bone nuts in 90% of my builds and they have been fine so defiantly check with Adam. And failing that I'd shim it.

Once you've got it strung, will the strings hold it in place?

I'd say that with a shim and glue it would be OK, but I might take Sonic's advice and touch base with Adam
