    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.

    hi guys,
    Got the back and sides dyed with a mix of Vintage Amber and Red Mahogany. There's 3 coats of Tru-Oil on the body so far and she's starting to look like something. I love how this ash grain has come up!

    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.
