    Hi all,
    this is one of my 2nd birthday sale kits I wanted to show off, I haven't had time to take photos of any other new kits yet. It may be a while before I can start on this, got a few projects to finish first but I'm planning to try Karajini red Dingotone on the cap and mahogany or jarrah stain for sides/back/neck. Can't wait to see first coat !

    cheers Fretty, there were heaps of words of joy when the cover came off the box and I unveiled the body !
    It has one of the tightest necks I've seen which is excellent. I may even have to sand some of the neck heel

    You must be almost tempted to clear coat the top and leave it at that!

    yes tempted Fretty. After seeing carmine gypsy on a spalted HB4 (can't remember the builder) I am keen to see how it turns out. Plans may change between now and when I get around to starting. Might rub a damp cloth over it to get an idea of what clear coats will look like

    Yeah great score you've got yourself there Wokka. Very jealous over here - an absolutely amazing cap. I like the sound of the carmine gypsy on this guiatr - from memory it looked like a wine red in the end. Would be damn sweet!

    cheers,
    Gav.
