So, its not one of my builds until its been at least two different colours....
I think the burgundy mist looks quite fetching with the bound neck and inlays. I also bought a lightweight wrapover tailpiece from this 'ere parish, rather than use the pot metal lightning bolt one I had. Tomorrow I will carve the neck; I'm undecided about scalloping the headstock curves at the moment, seeing as it's such a mish mash of styles. I'll shoot a quick coat of black and see how it looks with hard edges.
Hope you're all safe and well!

Glad you all feel better after the covid.
Black just looks more 'right' to me than the lighter metallics; clearly the finish above needs a clear coat and buff etc. Thoughts?
Cheers

Anyway, I hacked away a bit at the neck today to get it in better shape::
All being well, I'll final shape, sand and grain fill tomorrow and glue it in on Sunday. Oh, I also need to cut the angle into the heel - I typically do this by clamping it in a vice at the correct angle and planing off the excess. Going to cut an angled neck pocket in my neck build, to see if thats easier.
Have a great weekend all.
