    Happy Birthday Brett!!!! About the Dark Tease, it will look like a mess at the start, but give it a few days inbetween coats to cure (I leave my LP-1 for at least 3 days!) and it will look awesome on the 3rd coat!!!!

    Hey Brett,
    Inlay is a lot of fun! Have you decided what you are going to use?
    White Mother of Pearl always looks really nice on a dark finish.

    If you need any tips on inlay, just fire me an email at dingobass@pitbullguitars.com

    Note to self. Time to do a tute on inlay, DB......

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    woohoo my kit turned up today at work,, about 2.30 pm . was starting to think i would have to wait till monday but huge grin on my face face when the boss walked down the workshop with the package in his hands, i think he is just as excited as i was , a quick open of the box to show everyone whats inside and back to work,, being a motor mechanic all we do is talk about cars , so was nice to let everyone see another side of me.

    Haha, this made me smile Brett. Glad you got it before the weekend and, as Gav says, slowly, slowly. It's not a race.
    Cheers,

    Adam
