This my first attempt at building any sort of instrument.made plenty of mistakes but it plays and intonates fine.just waiting for warmer weather to paint it.second build underway

Is it any good for metal? 

[PaulThePlug]

Real nice as it is...

Great looking wood, why paint?

I'd keep it plain n simples.. nice old style bridge...

Can we have some spec n blah blah on bits n build please?

If you think it needs something, maybe a wipe over with Clear Danish Oil to seal the wood...

Nice flamed fretboard!  My personal leaning (which won’t be everyone’s cup of tea) would be a darker stain of some sort, satin finish.

Hey thanks for the interest in my build.the body is poplar which doesnt have a particularly nice grain pattern and also greenish stripes of heartwood.maple neck with a flamed maple fretboard which i bought pre slotted.i may well buy a slotting jig if i make more.tuners are hipshot licensed,retrovibe bridge.The pickup and loom are by a local to me maker called Alan Dingwall.i have his pickups in my tele as well.hes well worth checking out on facebook.cheers
