The Count
All standard kit parts, acrylic yellow from Supercheap, FW maple stain ( from somewhere that must never be mentioned ) on the neck.

I'm about to take the neck off to get a better finish and do a full setup.

Hi Dave on the off chance you are still on this forum what paint did you use from supercheap?

Cheers

G'day Mike,

Still here but haven't built since the Tuff Dog Tele, as for the ST-1 I can't remember of it was Septone or SCA and a bright yellow acrylic and which ever it was I used the same brand undercoat and clear.

It's now got Tonerider Vintage Classics in place of the kit items and sounds great.

I've not held another PB ST but my one also has a chunky vintage fat neck, don't know if this is standard but I love it

Hey Dave,

It looks great, the black hardwear really goes well with the yellow. Did you use a spray gun or was it rattle cans?

cheers

ST-1 by me, in Feast Watson Wipe on poly satin

Love that finish, black scratch guard and chrome screws really set it off.
