yes

I might have updates tonight of the neck sanded, shaped, and oiled.. as well as the fretboard.

Neck oiled, this is a shot of the third coat, while it was wet.. I'll get some dry ones later as well.

Rough control cavity/string thru holes, http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa98/lo...G8/IMG00360.jpg

I'm upset about the ONE hole that is not in line with the others.. I moved the body around to drill the hole properly, and BAM; out of line.. Oh well, hopefully I can make it look better with the ferrules tomorrow.

bridge shot, http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa98/lo...G8/IMG00357.jpg

overall shot,

The bridge is screwed on and everything, I just have to drill holes for the ferrules on the back (which I will probably do tomorrow).Also the neck and FB have been oiled 3 times in those pictures, and that's the most they're going to be oiled..

the back of the neck looks awesome.

What do you think, Diablo swirl, or oil finish..

Also drilled the ferrules today.. http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p77/JTDG/RG8/IMG00366.jpg

Thanks.

I will have all of the work complete by this week, Might be complete by tomorrow, since I'm going to work on it all day tomorrow.

Too bad I don't have any fret wire! I need to wait for school until I can fret it . Maybe I can fret it the first day! :O

That's an unusual way to attach the headstock.

Do you mean the scarf joint? I had to do it like that or else it wouldn't have been long enough..
