For some things, some times, it's the same time all over the world, and I think we know what time that is...
Hey guy's, I've made a bit of progress on my build and thought I might put some more pics up. So, here she is ready for spraying the headstock.
And now for some flat black.
More to come. Cheers!

Here are a few more.
I gave that a good rub with 4-0000 steel wool between coats, and eventually did 6 coats of flat black. Here are some more.
Now to mask again for clear coat. Stay tuned.

Masked and ready for clear coat.
After 3 coats of clear with a light rub with steel wool between coats.
After 5.
After 8 coats of clear and since I'm not going to push my luck with a headstock logo, ready for the tuners.
More to come.

Here we go.
That was the easy part. lol! Those little screws were a bugger to screw in with those precision screw drivers. I got blisters on my fingers and haven't even played her yet! Then my son handed me a good screw driver. Much easier. Doh!
Next, the saddle pins.

As promised.

Nope, haven't oiled the rosewood yet woks, that's just the colour they were when they arrived. I kinda like it though. Gonna be using Dunlop 65 on them before stringing. And thank you Andrew, I'm looking forward to that line mate! I wanna play her! LOL! Cheers!
