Ok, so I didn’t get to put binding on the fret board so I cheated a bit and painted it on, I think it looks pretty good and will do for now. I used a pale cream to give that slightly aged look then hit the whole neck with Duramax clear gloss finish.
I hav also put the final coats of colour on the back. Wait a few days for it to dry and hit the front with the final colour. Not really impressed with the shine on the Duplicolour so I think I will also hit it with the clear gloss a few times.

Hi all, I haven’t been home for 4 weeks, working away at the moment but I got home for a weekend and did a bit of a test fit and temporary install of parts so I could get some holes drilled and lined up before final clear coats.
Starting to look like something in the picture.
Take care in lock down all.
