In the immortal words of David Coverdale " Here I go Again". Roughing out the headstock, template was an early 60's Eric Johnson/Mark Knopfler American Series.
New bridge has also arrived and the Ferrules are on there way.

Frets were basically level straight out the box so levelling and polishing was easy, best of any neck so far. Sanded and first coat of TO.

Coming along nicely mate 👍🏻
No drill press, so just by eye/hand. Pretty happy with the way its turned out.
Now just tossing up on whether I try and do the sunburst with Stain or buy a Sunburst Nitro rattle can kit.

Thos sunburst kits are pretty pricey, last time I looked they were about $200 or something.Originally Posted by Rossc0

As I said was going to try sunburst with stains by hand, every trial I did was crap, so I splashed out on a 3 tone nitro sunburst kit from Guitaraust.com.au $229 reduced from $299, shipping inc, bit pricey and no guarantee I'll get it right, but here's hoping. Kits pretty comprehensive;
2 x sanding sealer
1 x Black
1 X Dark Brown/Tobacco
1 x Light Brown
2 x Gloss Clear
3 x different polishes plus clothes
320 through to 2000 Wed and Dry
Gloves
First coat of sanding sealer done. Fingers crossed.

You are braver man than me. Not confident enough to do anything other than a one colour stain.
