So I’ve had a good go at it today!
Started by clamping the neck on fitting the bridge to check the scale length and string alignment. In the end I had to push the gold ring things into the headstock so it would hold the tuning peg in place without being screwed in.
Then I decided to sand the neck and oil it. I’m using a danish wood oil for the neck and after a couple of coats I’m pretty pleased with how it’s looking...another coat tomorrow and then I’ll leave the neck alone for a bit.
Then I taped up the binding ready for me to stain the sides once they arrive...
Also ordered a fret levelling block and notched straight edge so once they arrive can crack on with the fret!
