Yes. That picture is with Sheen Plus. I still have Ceramic from my last build. The tiny bottles will probably last at least 4 builds. There is actually quite a bit of shine on it in the right light.

Now that's a cool idea if you can clean up the edges. Maybe sand it down so the total boat just sits flush with the sides ?

Texas Toast Guitars.......................
Yeah, lots of time sanding. We will see. Unfortunately, I think the low E tuner hole is gonna decapitate Reveille's (the dog) head. Should have thought that through better, lol.
Hardware installed. Other than my crappy soldering, it went well. After Aaron’s video about them, I decided to try the Van Dyke-Harms monolith bridge.
My attempts at Aggifying the neck ended in failure, so I am left without a functional neck. Luckily, it was a screaming deal neck and I can continue doing experiments on it. But for now I have to wait for my new Warmoth neck to arrive to play it, unless I just take a neck off one of my other guitars.

That bridge bling!
Thanks! Angelus Burgundy on that Red Gum Burl really worked out for Aggie Maroon. I have a special Aggie strap being made by Linny Kenny. She does great work, although it can get pricey depending on your design.

now crap grade USPS shipping has bumped it till tomorrow, it has been sitting 20 miles away for 3 days. I am sure margins are tight, but a week and counting is SLOW for a spendy item IMO.

Cant you just sand the headstock to wood?
They are so overbuilt they probably need a forklift to move it, lol. The quality is amazing.

If only I could enjoy the awesome quality myself.................................
I also decided to stupidly drill out the fret markers to replace them with something maroon. Even with my laser equipped drill press it’s impossible to hit a circle dead center. Total disaster. But my kids both went to college at Cal Poly. The school motto is “learn by doing”. I’m learning. I decided it was better to start fresh and use that neck for experimentation.

I tape em off and paint them, then they get a couple coats wipe on poly. However, all my necks save one are maple, so I would do the poly anyways.

Raggamuffin is quite an experimenter too, he sometimes installs bridges wherever inspiration leads him regardless of scale length. (he says scale is something made up by big guitar companies to keep the common man down)

Can someone tell me what Aggifying or Aggie actually is?
Texas A&M Aggie. A&M started as an Agricultural School. Like lots of those schools, the students are called Aggies. To Aggify would be to use the school colors, mascots or emblems.

Looks really great and I like the idea with the bandana on the headstock. That's a great idea for a matching headstock!
