Looks great and you must feel relieved to have it all sorted. I’m amazed that nitro checks so quickly - I assumed it happened over a long period of time with temp changes etc.

Definitely worth the wait and the effort. Stunning result, and like @pedI'm surprised the paint has checked so soon.
Love that dark wood board, Oly White and red Tort place combo! :) Definitely a keeper

Julien was my go-to guy for a while...fixed smallish issues on my first couple of Thunderbirds, a pickup swap on my Lull and a sizeable amount of investigation on a muddy NR Thunderbird about ten years ago.  Top bloke.  I remember when he was the tech guy at (whatever that guitar shop was) in Market Place, Reading.

I think the paint is probably 4-5 years old now but it’s been in a case and not played. 
 

We were planning to sand the neck back a little but decided to wait and it’s now checking as well. 
 

Neck must be 11 years, or more, since it was refinished.
