Wow this month is really getting away from me. It's the 20th already.
I plan on entering my ST-1, I just need some rusty screws to replace the shiny one's. and some time to take some glamor shots.

Here is my entry for GOTM.
The SKAT.
Some more shots of the Wudtone finish. Overall I tried achieve a smooth Saturn finish to give it a natural timber feel.
I had a great experience building my first PBG kit. And I am chuffed with the final results.
Fantastic work here, Dan.
I am breathing a sigh of relief I don't have any up for selection this month....

That is a beautiful looking guitar Dan, and totally unique. Well done mate.

well done Dan, very original look, even down to the control knobs and black bridge pieces. Did you make the scratchplate and back trem/spring cover by hand ? Did you overlay wood over the headstock as well ?

I'm glad you guy's appreciate it. Thanks for the kind words.
Wokka, for the scratch plate and back plate I laminated 5 pieces of veneer then cut and shaped with a jigsaw and sandpaper. Then I stained the patern and finished in fretboard oil.
I had planned on veneering the headstock, but it had such a nice flame in the maple that I didn't want to cover up so I just stained the front of the headstock.
The black saddles are actually graphite saddles, and the alloy knobs were $2 at Jaycar.
No one noticed the knob for the whammy bar I whittled from a 4x2 sleeper.
Yep, very well made, looks a treat.
nice one Dan looks awesome
