First time tinting and finishing a neck, some areas look like left over dorito dust, but overall I'm happy, and it was a great learning experience.

Looks like my timing was good, with that neck being finished! Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together.

Spent some time with the router today, making a pickup designed for an archtop into a solid body makes for some fun mods.

Hoping tomorrow to start wiring, and more work on the nut.

Basic setup done, definitely need to spend some time on the tone pot, and do a proper setup, but it feels surprisingly good. No doubt I will tear it apart in the future and change things, but I am surprised how well this guitar has worked so far.

Got the bridge together, once cooter sends back the neck I just have to widen the pocket.
