looks VERY cool.  I used the same dye combo on one of mine.  Did you use poly or nitro?

You wanna know what sucks?  Your last vacation week of the year falls in between your last clear coat that was sprayed, and before you can do your final wet sanding/polishing.

Some pics I took during setup.  Took about 2 weeks to setup this bad boy!  Lot's of shimming here and there, some minor fret leveling, pounding high frets.  Sadly what started out looking like a brand new guitar off the rack now looks like one that's been on the road for a few years.    Nitro does not like to be "man-handled", and evidently I'm rough on guitars.  No pics of the back because at one point while I was pounding on some frets I thought it would be safe enough to lay it on cardboard.  Wrong!  The back looks like it was played while wearing a boxing championship belt.   Only wet sanding is getting that out and I'm not sure if the finish is thick enough for it.  But, this wasn't built to be a show piece, so I'm perfectly happy with it.  Will take some pics for the Start section after I've cleaned it up some. 

First a pic of my fret work. (first time at it)


Now the Humbucker shim I made from,,,,Redwood I think it was.


Now the rest
