    Lets get the ball rolling for March GOTM.

    Finally got this finished.. plays like a dream and happy with the result. Not 100% perfect but more than happy with this. Importantly I learned heaps, and thankfully recovered from a few mistakes along the way....

    Once I've fine tuned the intonation I'll upload some sound demos. Pups - Tonerider 'Rocksong' with chrome brackets, Kluson tuners, orange drop caps, Bourns 500K mini pots, PBG bone nut upgrade (highly recommend!), Epiphone truss-rod cover, Realparts switch upgrade and some LP speed knobs I had laying around.

    Finish - Cherry Red Colortone mixed with a bit of black (body/neck), Black Colortone to pop the flame, black FW stain (headstock) all with a nice layering of Tru Oil.

    Another fantastic build Andrew. The flame has been popped very nicely indeed and the final finish shows it off beautifully. Keen to hear those rock songs in full flight!

    cheers,
    Gav.

    Thanks for all your kind comments.

    The finish on the flame ended up being a bit tricky on this, where the tru oil could be wiped thinly with a rag over rest of guitar to build up the finish it only worked when rubbed in vigorously and very thinly on the veneer ( taking many layers to build up..). Must have been something to do with the levelling on the veneer?
