Do it man, get it in there sharpish!
Alright!
Here is my Walkertone Cavalier.
Alder body, maple neck, 6 saddle gfs string thru bridge, bone nut courtesy of Mr bass.
Electronics are gfs rail humbuckers, orange drop caps, cts 3 way, switchcraft jack, cloth wiring, push pull tone and volume pots for humbucker and split coil sounds.
Finish is black Japan front, prs style natural binding and a mix of golden oak and a small amount of Japan brown for the back and sides. Neck and head stock are natural. There is then about 12 coats of wipe on tru oil, steel wooled down after ever 2 coats, and finished with 2 coats of spray tru oil. Neck is a similar story but with less coats of the naughty oil. Fret board is finished with dingo wax. A white Pearl pickguard and white switch cap finish her off.
Thanks heaps!

Cheers mate. The boss and I went os for chrissy, only arrived home yesterday after many a head ache and drama. This may be the last gotm I'm in for a while. Packing up and heading back to the Gold Coast pretty soon.
Wait that came out wrong. Got laid off via email while os, still owed near on 10k in lost wages, accruals and notice, going through fair work to recoup all that now, just Wanna get out of this town, back to civilisation and family, especially with a bub on the way.
well at least you will have a good choice of shops in Gold Coast for axe supplies on your next build.
Good to have you back bro !
Sorry to hear about getting laid off your job, that sucks to find out down the track via email ! Hope you get whats owed to you

Holy s#@t!!!....and I thought your last build was your best yet, I stand corrected.
That's ridiculous mate.
This is now the best GOTM I've seen so far.
Poor judges:-(
thanks Barge, I'm not looking forward to judging this month !
