    So, I'm cracking on now. I've got a 1st top coat on the body and the neck. I'm doing the neck in two alternating steps, just because it's difficult to handle it if the whole thing is treated at once, so I've top coated everything but the fretboard, and sometime in the next day or so I'll do the fretboard. Then I'll do everything but the fretboard again, and alternate till I've got 2 or 3 coats on the whole thing. It's all looking pretty sweet so far.

    Also, with my heart set on the yellowed white pearloid pickguard, I couldn't quite come at $55 for the thing (including postage) so I've been looking for ways of getting the same effect for less dough. My solution is to get a stark white pearloid pickguard for reasonably cheap off the interwebs and give it the Wudtone ageing process (set out here: http://www.wudtone.com/forum/?topic=...ng-wudtone-dye) using some leftover top coat and a wee bit of Goldenrod. Pics on the weekend, chaps!

    (By the way, are there any chapettes lurking around here?)
    Apart from Miss Nadeine, who hasn't posted anything in ages, I think there was a person named Claire who signed up a few weeks ago????

    I've applied all coats of Wudtone now except one last coat to the back of the neck. I'm pretty pleased with the result! Now I just have to wait for my pickguard to arrive so that I can age it, then I can start assembly. Here are some pics to look at in the meantime.

    It looks fantastic, Glenn. It has really turned out well, real eye candy.

    Can't wait to see it fully assembled.

    Scott.

    My pickguard arrived today, so I do actually stand a chance of finishing the thing this month! As for GOTM, well, that's not for me to say.
