No problems using the Spoke Nut truss rods upside down , I do it all the time. As mentioned, the adjustment is reversed.

Its coming out great Brian. Love the headstock shape too. And P90's ? You can't go wrong :-)

You should be able to intonate that , there seems to be a bit of adjustment left on your saddles. Having said that, ideally the bridge should have been mounted a couple of mm further forward.

Yeah definitely go DHL, it will be delivered to your door mind blowingly quick. There wont be any extra charges

I'd grab an Ash body from Stewmac if I were you, their freight rates & delivery times to Australia are excellent. You will have no issues with customs. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bodies,_necks,_wood/Electric_guitar_body_blanks/Swamp_Ash_Body_Blank.html

Love the variation on the tele shape ! Can't beat tassie blackwood for a top. I bet it sounds as good as it looks

If it were me, I would go to 1800 then 2400 before moving onto a compound if you are buffing by hand. A buffing wheel is a different story though

Love it ! Good to see them moving a way from the same color scheme as Brian and offering some options..

OK, without a spraygun you will have to buy aerosol cans pre-tinted. You could try ReRanch - Something like THIS might do the trick and then clear over the top.

To me it looks like you are spraying a solid colour which is not going to work. You need to tint your clearcoat with a liquid stain such as THIS then clear over the top. From the examples you provided, a red mahogany should do the trick nicely. It will provide a transparent color-tinted look...

Mint guard on aged Olympic White

This is Stewmac Cherry tint over mahogany with black grain filler

Thanks Gil, I can have a go at mixing that. Royal Blue seems to be a dark Blue

Hi Gil, If I wanted to mix my own Olympic White using only the Stewmac pigments, do you have any tips to get me in the ballpark ? Cheers Fletch

I fitted one on a build I uploaded to youtube - Check here (and a few videos on from that ) KBBH3GstMOM#t=340s
