Hi all, yes first build (probably not the last!) and thoroughly addicted already, I got my kit last week and am loving the process so far. I did a mock build on day 1, all seems good, did have exactly the same panic with the neck fit as Greg did on his LP-1MQ, but found his thread covering that very reassuring.
The plan has alway been DT Coolangatta Gold with a Bushfire Sunrise burst, which I was pretty concerned about doing as I had no idea what to do, however reading a couple of hundred threads I felt empowered with enough knowledge to have a crack, worst case scenario is paint it black!
Anyway after much sanding, 2 stain coats of Gold and a few burst coats later I'm quite chuffed by how its coming along
Did the first coat of Bushfire on the body this evening, probably do another tomorrow (gotta love good drying conditions in Queensland) and will post another pic then.
Next thing to work out is headstock shape, jury is still out on that one, I will come up with something eventually.
Any advise or suggestions, good or bad, are very welcome.
