My new neck from the very talented @GSPBASSES arrived today

Fretboard is finished already, headstock and the back of the neck is up to me, which is great as I have a waterslide decal to fit once one layer of clear is on the face of the headstock, hopefully I can make some progress before this weekend.

Work continues on the neck, front of the headstock done: 

First coat of clear now applied to the back, second coat to go on Monday or Tuesday evening

Oooohhh, nice neck!

PVO_Dave

Neck is almost done now, back is finished, looks and feels great, the headstock has had a good few coats, the decal arrived this week, applied today

I'll put some clear wudtone over this either tomorrow or Monday night, another coat later in the week, then 7 days rest for the headstock to set before I fit tuners and hand the guitar over to my tech for a setup

Like it!

PVO_Dave

Couple of coats of clear Wudtone over the decal, you can still see the outline of the waterslide from some angles, but short of using a spray can of lacquer it's good enough for me . Tuners fitted today, I'll hopefully drop it off the w/c the 13th to get the nut made and the guitar setup.

Here it is almost assembled whilst I wait to drop it off to the tech, can't wait to get this complete.

Proper pictures when it's complete

I'm loving that. Might just be my next project, you've inspired me! Great job.

Thanks @Deadman If you go for it and like the logo, I have a spare one here you can have

Deadman

Very kind Dave. I'll keep it in mind bud

DrBob

I've been watching your many build threads and you can colour me hugely impressed if a bit jealous with all of them !

Do you mind me asking where you got your custom headstock decals from ?

PVO_Dave

Cheers @DrBob

I ordered from http://www.guitardecals.co.uk

Looks like he's having some issues at the moment, the quality is great though and he seems like a good guy.

Dave.

Thanks @ThePrettyDamned - really looking forward to getting this one finished

Great project, was considering ordering the allparts paisley and flower bodies at the same time.....

PVO_Dave

@SimpleSimon Thanks - Was very tempted with the blue flower too, but I've spent too much on guitar bits lately (there's still time )

SimpleSimon

Was just thinking about the economics of it all, in my mind at least shipping two bodies would make it more cost effective!

PVO_Dave

@SimpleSimon postage would be less I guess, not sure on customs fees, depends how lucky you get!
