First coat of poly on. I thought it would lighten up a little more but it is a cloudy day and the colour is nice.

That's going to look lovely I reckon. Nice ruby tones to it.

After two coats of poly the stain is sealed in. A little bit of colour dragged over the purfling so I’ve given it one last scrape. Only poly coat/wet sanding record keeping from now on for a while.
And out came the sun. I just wanted to share this moment.
Oh that is sweet!

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Hey DarkMark - I am just about to start staining the front of my ESB4 and I am worried about the binding/purfling around the f holes and face of the guitar body. Can you please elaborate on the tape youve used in the pic and any other advice? I used blue painters tape when doing the back and the sides and apart from a little bit of bleeding, it has come out well.
Love the finish and the build so far. Congrats on the subterfuge but its always just a matter of time until wives uncover new purchases
