Started three other builds (finished two) and bought a 7-string, an 8-string, and a 9-string.  :laughing7:

OK, the finish has cured for 4 weeks and the smell is almost completely gone.  (I don't think it's going to smell any less than this for a year.  I have to put my nose right on top of it to smell it.)  I think it's ready to wet-sand, buff, and polish.  Can you finishing ninjas give me some...

OK, my 34 coats of Tru Oil have cured for a month, and I'm ready for the home stretch.  :occasion14: Please check out the build thread and hit me with some wisdom on the final stages of the process. http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=19080.0 Thanks!

OK, sorry for the delay!  I've been swamped.  Here are a few more pics of the neck.  I will take some better ones soon, I promise.

Wow, I second the kudos on the fingerboard.  Awesome piece of ebony.

Actually, it's chambered.

Wow, this is a great site.  Thanks!

I wish I could take credit for it, but all I did was dream it up and choose the piece of wood for the fingerboard.  Warmoth turned it into a guitar.

Yeah, it's got vintage tint natural masked binding. 

A few pics of the very last coat.

Thanks!  :icon_biggrin:

Grosh Blown '59 in the bridge, Fralin Unbucker in the neck.  (Both tapped with push-pull pots.)  TOM bridge (recessed).  Schaller locking tuners.  TUSQ XL nut.  6105 SS frets.  Electrosocket jack. :icon_biggrin:

I'm having a seizure--of delight.

It was a unique choice.  I wanted that really wavy look, and it looks like it was worth the $65 upgrade.  Exactly what I was looking for!

I custom ordered this about 6 weeks ago and wasn't expecting it for another month, but it's on its way.  More pics when it arrives!  Woot! Chambered Explorer body Black Korina on Black Korina Tobacco Burst with vintage tint natural binding Mahogany neck with scalloped bocote finterboard...
