Wowzers thats nice! How did you finish it?

Very nice!  I like the bridge a lot. Also the neck looks good with BLO on it, I thought the oil would give a higher gloss finish, but that looks nice and natural.  How much BLO did you put on?  I expect just a quick wipe as it would not soak into the burnishing.

more like $10 in Australia, same price as a 6 pack  :( I might look for somewhere to buy them in bulk and sell them over here, sure I can make some money on that

Sorry, my treble bleed resistor value is 150KΩ, I got confused.  That was a good treble bleed article thought, thanks for that.     I have tested on a Mastech MY-60 and a ALPHATEK TEK1320, both give similar readings, but both are cheaper testers. Like you say, the test results show a severe...

Hi, I figured out how to measure it correctly 10 = 7.28KΩ  (Roughly my pickup DC resistance) 9  = 7.28KΩ 8  = 7.39KΩ 7  = 7.27KΩ 6  = 6.79KΩ 5  = 6.70KΩ 4  = 6.38KΩ 3  = 6.03KΩ 2  = 5.12KΩ 1  = 150Ω        (Value of resistor on my treble bleed) 0  = 150Ω I would of expected readings like this...

Another audio taper?

between 10 and 9 it goes from 0 to 150 ohms, then it stays at 150 ohms for the rest of the sweep

I got my pots from Warmoth, CTS audio for Vol and push push for Tone.  The problem is the volume pot only had any affect between 10 and 8.  I thought it needed a treble bleed kit, but after installing it the volume pot only works between 0 and 2.  What have I done wrong?

Oh, is that curly maple, that explains why it looks more figured than flame maple. Thanks Cagey

How do I get a neck finish like this? (without buying a PRS private stock)

Jim Dunlop 1.0 Got them in bulk from a friend who worked in a guitar shop, there is now a pic on every flat surface in the house, drives my partner crazy

Very nice!

Cool, I am thinking of polishing the fretboard on my next guitar.  Might have to practice installing frets on a beater first

Cagey,  Did you manage to get the frets in that Canry neck without damaging the work you did polishing the fret board?

Good to hear you have good results with it too.  It was really handy for getting the screws into the Wenge when I put it together.  Also my nut is quite tight so it makes great lube for that.  I do like the way it darkens up the wood a bit
