Silver wax on now hoping to get a slight grain highlight. Won't come close to the ash, but hopefully something. If not I have another idea.

Well that didn't work. I have a suspicion Stratamania may be to blame.

It's not bad looking, but maple just doesn't have the deep grain to catch the silver wax like swamp ash does. I'd concur it would look better sprayed black though
 
Finally, gotta let this set, clean up the tape line, and then clear. May reluctantly go to store for rattle can of shellac.

Ok got things to a point, Strings on. Still needs set up/intonation, checked neck with rocker may need to level a couple high spots. Right now just letting the strings do their thing and will check in morning truss rod etc.

A couple pics, will see if weather permits better outdoor picture tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who helped me put this together, I really appreciate your time. Bushmills and rocks awaits.

Cheers!

It's earth day so I let him check it out!
 
Time short, but popped back and did a very quick intonation/setup and no string buzz anywhere low action. Tweaked rod slightly, going to let that settle, but my saddles are up to high and the action is still too low for me so I have a sneaking suspicion I am going to have to pull the neck and sand the neck heel a tad. The poor turtle is going to suffer.  :laughing7:

Had to do this on my other Warmoth necks also.
