That's certainly a spectacular grain pattern. Interesting to see how it comes out.
Build #1, failed solid body 6 string using neck from a scrapped acoustic (45+ odd years ago as a teenager!)
Build #2, ugly parlour semi with scratch built body and ex Peavey neck
Build #3, Appalachian Dulcimer from EMS kit
Build #4, pre-owned PB ESB-4
Build #5, Lockdown Mandolin
Build #6, Sixty six body for Squier
Build #7, Mini Midi Bass
Looks absolutely spectacular.
Scored big time on that veneer top! Look forward to seeing how that turns out.

Just going to build it with stock hardware for now with a view to upgrading pickups and electrics once I know it is playing well.
Frets have been levelled and crowned (with super-cheap ebay file which proved a very worthwhile investment) - just need some wire wool and polish to finish the job.
Main concern is to do justice to the top.
I am doing it with Wudtone Cherry Flamenco. Cherry red is the colour for an ES right Hopefully that will bring the grain out nicely.

My 6YO says it looks like lions fur. Any which way you slice it, it’s pretty special.
