Well I received a text message today to tell me that Australia Post will be delivering my first kit tomorrow.

I ordered the following:

TLA-1Q - Ash Body with Quilted Maple Veneer
Tonerider TRT1's
Wilkinson Bridge
Grover Rotomatics
Graph Tech TUSQ Nut
Switchcraft 1/4" Jack
0.047mfd Orange Drop
All Parts 3 Way Switch
Bourns 250k Pots

I've been looking around the forum quite a lot and my initial plans at this stage is to do Tru Oil on the neck and headstock and Dingotone wax for the fingerboard. For the body I'm looking at the different stains and dyes around.

Would appreciate some input from other people. I've looked at the U-Beaut, Angelus, Wudtone, Colortone and Dingotone dyes. Would be good to hear the pros and cons from people that have used each.

Also what are people using over the dye to seal and finish their guitars? A lot have used Tru Oil and I've seen some mention of clear nitro. Any other options that are worthwhile considering?

And as the it is an Ash body what grain filler do people recommend?

Cheers
