Yup, its been a while. Nearly a year since my last build and this has been sitting on the bench since Feb.
So... Found a more Hoffner looking tail piece for it and some "staple" style pick ups, I'll be making a new control panel from red tortoiseshell material that will hold a more conventional 1 Vol, 1Tone, and a 3 way switch.
To get under way I have glued the neck in, filled around the join and while waiting for the filler to dry I put the red dye on. It will have a black burst so there was no point in taking the red to the edges. It's looking a bit orange in the pics but there was a few more coats went on after the pics and its darkened up a bit.
