The spray looks good. I will look forward to seeing it buffed out.

Here's the bridge clamped in place. You may notice the dark spot on the side through the sound hole, it's a compression dent that was steamed out as much as possible, then filled with wood dust & CA'd.

Just when you think you're getting ahead in the rat race, the rats get faster.

The back & headstock after initial buffing. Once I'm finished handling it during construction & setup, I'll do a final hand buff job.

Since this is a "vintage" guitar I installed Gotoh open back tuners in keeping with the theme. With a little luck I should hear what this instrument sounds like in a couple of days. So far I like the response when tapped, but there is no string tension on it yet.

That's a real nice look. I've been happy with the Gotoh's I've used.
