    Looks good Tadeo should be a very cool build. Keep sanding it yourself, as Gavin said you gain lots of strength from sanding.

    I also wish I started at 10 and not 15!

    Well done Tadeo. I don't think I even knew what a guitar was when I was 10, let alone have the ambition to build one.

    Keep this up young man and you will be looking at taking over from Dingobass as our resident luthier.

    Have fun building your guitar and don't rush, that's when you can make mistakes.

    How do I treat my fret board? Doing the head and neck in dingotone but don't know how or what to treat the fret board if at all.

    There are a few options.
    Dingotone Guitar wax, (my fave)
    Or Dr Ducks axe wax, easy to use and it does a great job.

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

    Well done Tadeo I'm impressed you know all the names of the kit parts. Keep up the good work. Jazz bass are a cool kit to build. Rock on

    Mums super strong she's won an ausralian karate title last year and I only won a state title. So no chance yet of beating her yet Gav.

    well done Tadeo on a state title that is excellent.
    Sounds like your Mum is not worth messing with ! If she is strong she will be really good at sanding hahah
