Agree with Woks.
Wow. Just wow.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Thats looking fantastic. A white pearl pick guard would finish the whole surf look
I saw that colour and this played in my head.
Dedman, that is the effect I was looking for 😄
Second base coat on the body and first intensifying coat and we have:
and up close:
The yellow of the grain is still really prominent, but it adds to the ripple effect :-)
You can't see it the photo very well but there is a slight green tinge in some parts of the stain. I am assuming the colour of the wood is mixing with the blue from the stain. Again, I am pretty happy with this as it is adding to the water ripple effect.
After the second intensifying coat a week later we have:
and up close:
The green tinge is now more visible in this photo.

I wanted to do something different with the headstock when I started out, however I ended up with a shape pretty close to a standard Telecaster headstock.
I did have one concern with the holes drilled for the tuners. They are not all equally spaced but only 1-2 mm difference. They are also not aligned exactly in a row with one of the sticking up about 1 mm.
I decided that this would not be noticeable in the final product, so restrained myself from plugging the holes and redrilling. The perfectionist inside me is screaming but, we will have to live with that. I hope it does not affect the setup of the guitar and tuning later down the track.
Next was to cut out the shape, so out came the jigsaw and we have a rough shape to work with now.
