Melvins!! What a band!

[Fretworn]

Now I have that line from "Celebrity Head" by Powderfinger in my head ...."But I'm a part of the scene, I know a guy from The Melvins."

Fantastic guitar Rob

Great finish, can I ask did you also finish the neck in the oil as well?

I see what you mean about the 3D gloss, it looks really deep.

Excellent job

Thanks Robert.

Yes, the neck is finished in Tru-Oil as well. A mate of mine has a Music Man guitar and they use TO on their necks. I was going for the same finish. The secret with the neck is to only use 4 or 5 coats of TO and then to lightly rub down the gloss with steel wool until you get a beautiful smooth satin finish. The final finish is very slick and just gorgeous to play.

Cheers
