He's not frittering away the budget on video production.

Perhaps not really true?

I'm just surprised, that's all (I've never used Timbermate as it's hard to get and expensive in the UK). It's just that oil and water don't mix well, but maybe there isn't much water at all in Timbermate. I've been using Aqua Coat, and that is also a water based grain filler, but that definitely states it may be tinted using just water-based stains/dyes. But that is a lot more liquid than Timbermate looks to be before you add anything to it.

Touch wood, I may be in the Mustang club.
Buy it now on the 'last one' sitting on e-bay.



cheers, Mark.

Ha ha
Do it!!

I am quite enamored with it tbh.
It ticks all of my boxes.
Ill be putting it together totally stock first up.

Then later ill be looking for those rAil type humbuckers.

I am even considering mustang switching down the road and then using the current switch hole as a split switch.

However i dont want to get ahead of myself as i really like to play them for a few months so i can become really accustomed to the ergonomics.

Well. I filled the grain with a little bit of instant coffee.
Rubbed it all in last night.

I actually thought it was very flat before rubbing this stuff in.
But now as i sand it down i can see this line form........

Ok. Headstock shaped last night in front of the tv.
I was reminiscing on the necks that i have. Which feels best.....
i have a LP with a pretty flat “back of the neck” (im sure there is a proper term for this) and it just feels the best when moving around the neck.
And the hardest one to play that i have is fairly fat and round on the back of the neck.

So whilst the neck was sitting on my lap i decided to take a couple of mm off the back. Not much and hardly noticeable.
Just to flatten it a bit.

Out with the 180 grit and just kept rubbing back and forward. Sorry no pictures.
It seemed to work.
Then up through the grades.
Im kind of impressed with myself. The couch and carpet are full of dust and im in trouble with the minister for all things.
But It feels better already.
Im pretty sure that the neck hasnt lost any stability as it is just a bit.
Fingers crossed.

Im going to rub some tru oil in now and see what she looks like..........
