Waz, this is looking really good. that ebony timbermate, dye colour and tru-oil has come up a treat.
Not bringing this up as a downer but i just didn't notice it at all, is that a ding on the front just below the bridge? I had a look at some of the photos and it looks like it was there from the beginning. It just didn't make sense to me as the timbermate would have filled it.

Hi guys, spent most of today working on this bad boy and have post some shots of the progress. Should mention that the 'ding' for the ground wire proved a PIA as the hole was not drilled all the way through to the control cavity and it took me a while to work out which direction it went to line up a drill hole from the control side of things. Thankfully my estimate was spot on otherwise it could have ended up a bit lighter from several more exploratory holes inserted haha.
Wet sanded with the 4 micro mesh pads and then polished with Meguair's and wow what a shine.
Finished assembling and put some strings on it after dark and here are a couple of indoor shots. Apologies for the poor lighting as it looks much better in natural light and will take some more next weekend after I have done the wiring and final setup.
Yessss! Me likey!
