Certainly not bad at all. In fact, it looks great!

Cheers guys. Woks, I think it's rosewood, certainly looks like it.

no worries Pabs, be careful when you drill out the tuner holes, I usually drill in reverse slowly going up from small bits to 9.5mm

Already done. I use a round needle file, it's a bit less brutal than a drill bit.

Change of mind. Heading in a fairly different direction now.
I really like the shade of green I had, but it just didn't suit this guitar for whatever reason and it wasn't sitting well with me. Flicking through google image search and I found this image.
Love at first sight. (BTW, apparently this is a converted SG standard)
So, this is one of my favourite combos. Black and tortoise. My first build (TL-1) was done like this and I got rid of that a while back, I think I'm ready to tackle the nightmare that is black paint again (talk to me again in a week or so...).
3 coats of primer down, sanded between each one and we are ready to move on to colour.

wow nice choice Pabs, I remember your black and tortoise tele won an early GOTM. Nice job on the primer looks nice and flat. Will you go a gloss clear ?

Cheers mate. Yeah, I want to do gloss, but we'll see how my patience holds up. Haha.
