Coming up nicely mate.

OK, after exercising a super human amount of patience I started buffing back the SG last night.

Blocked back with 1500 then 2000 wet and dry, being extra carful around the holes.

First pass with cutting compound

Quick mockup before knocking off last night

In the sun after this afternoons efforts

The back featuring a scratch I need to fix

Under fluros indoors - its black as night

I'm really happy with how its coming up although I have spent a ridiculous amount of time on it.

There are a couple of scratches I need to go over again and give it a hit with the swirl remover, but wow - it's really doing it for me. The boy may have to have one of the other guitars to call his own

Also working on my truss rod cover which will eventually feature the headstock logo down the middle. I'm just using some aluminium flat bar, should go well with the alumitone hum buckers.

I also got a bunch of push pull pots in the mail. I'm planning to do this one so you can split the neck and bridge and use them as single coils.

That color is pretty cool sonic. I'm a little envious nice work

Sonic, that SG is looking so good. That black and then cherry in the sun business is looking insanely good so far

Cheers guys, I'm really happy with it.

Its so light as well. The hum buckers weight almost nothing. I can't wait to play it.

But being patient has paid off so far, I'm going to continue the slowly, slowly approach and get it as good as I can.

*WHISTLES* damn sonic, that's looking ace

Thanks All. It's so exciting to see it all shined up.

I did just set myself back a bit by ruining my last sheet of waterslide paper. Sprayed it too soon after printing and it's bled.

I've got more coming express post and plenty else to get on with so not a huge drama - just a sign that I need to keep exercising that patience.......
