got the Exman completed lastnight, just giving the glue on the neck another 24 hours before I put on any string tension but its wired up and makes noise.
Got some black pup surrounds posted today so I'll replace the bridge pup surround for a black one and should go well with the dark grain.
Pretty happy how it turned out.
Spent about 3 hours doing a fret level so should play pretty well with any luck !
Might need to tweak the truss rod.

Nicely done Wokka.
The iceman and explorer shapes fit well and the chunk of wood looks awesome.

Thats a hell of a lot of depth in the sheen there, Wokka. Looking very speccy.
thanks Tony and Lozza for the nice comments.
@ Lozza, its about 8 coats of Tru Oil, last 2 coats were thinned down and wet sanded to 2500 grit.
Like all axes it looks better in the flesh than the photos

The horn is a bit too Freudian for my liking, but regardless, the look and finish is fantastic.
Another example of the builders' art at work.
Dammit Max! There are some things you just can't unsee.
Great stuff Wokka.
