Well here she is guys, my very first build.
I'm really happy with it...turned out pretty much how i had hoped it would.
Wiped on the amber stain, sprayed a couple of coats of clear, then added red dye to clear lacquer to do the sunburst.
Cut and polished to obtain the glassy finish.
I know lacquer is a bit of a naughty word around here, but I have a lot of experience with paint and spraying,
and being my first build, went with what I felt confident with.
The only changes are the kluson style tuners, orange drop caps and truss rod cover.
I have learnt so much about guitars doing this build....not to mention patience !!
It's amazing how proud you feel when you first plug it in and start strumming.
Just the intonation to go....but happy with how she sounds already.
Thanks also to Gav and Scott for helping me out with my wiring issues.
