Wow Gav, that looks amazing. If it were me I wouldn't be touching it again, pretty close to perfection to my eyes.

Thanks to all for the very kind words! I had another look at it today and just softened the edges of the tobacco a little with some water. Apart from that I'm too scared to touch it. @Jarrod - I'm gonna do this one in naughty oil to enhance the grain as much as physically possible.
cheers,
Gav.

Gav this get better and better each photo. Love the build.
hi guys,
I just ordered a set of zebra Entwistle HDN neodynium pups from Ads for this build. From everything I've read these should give it a bit of beastly rock grunt. I also considered the rocksongs, but decided to try the Entwistle for this one.
I went with the zebra cause I reckon they'll look cool against the brown burst. So much for a stock build hey Wokks??
cheers,
Gav.
