Gday all. I thought that the build was nearing completion until this morning when I thought Id just give it a quik mock up. It was the first since I mocked it up strait out of the box.I couldnt dream of this colour being any better so when I placed all the hardware on,chrome+black,it just didnt look rite. SO ....Im going for all black hardware,which should be here in a few weeks. At least that gives the wudtone good curing time. At the moment the body has 3coats of aged topcoat. The neck has 2 clear coats,gold tints,then another 2 coats of clear. Both are getting another coat on Sunday and maybe 1 more mid-week. Cheers! P.S I hope the photos are the rite way this time. I tried to capture the gold hilites on the neck and the butter-scotch in the daylite and inside.

Upside down again Jase. Looking really nice though.
Can see that black hardware would look sweet.
Well worth doing, you will be much happier with the finished product.
Nothing worse than when its finished saying "I wish I had....."
Sorry bout the photos. Not to sure what to do next. Im not too cluey with computers but Im open to suggestions and hopefully Ill understand it. Sorry again.
Ive done all I can till the extras arrive, hopefully this week. A few black bits and pieces and then plug it in to see how it sounds. I could not be happier with how it has and will turn out. Cheers!
