Thanks for your encouragement! I really appreciate it.
Somebody said in Germany the 600 page biography of Steve Jobs would have ended on page two with the words "and today the commercial regulatory authority came by...."
Sounds like a joke but it isn't.
I thought about lutherie as a job quite a while and still do sometimes. Maybe I'll start a "small business" in future and build guitars part time. But I'm not shure about it yet.

Final sanding is done! I have blackened the pickup cavities (looks cleaner once the Alumitones are mounted) and added some brass screw inserts for PU height adjustment too...
and on went some oil..... I have oiled quite a few guitars before, but man did the color of the figured apple wood pop!
access oil rubed down after ~20minutes:
two more coats to go...
Not to bad for a Muesli-caster, eh?

I, too, check this thread daily, its that inspiring. That neck is so appealing looking from both sides that I just want to take a bite out of each side. I need to get going on another build (#2) and then take bold shot at something like this (especially considering I'll never afford a Boden Chris Letchford model.

Damn, that apple wood looks great. Only 3 coats of oil on this?

Köttbullar är fint..
That applewood looks amazing!
@all: Thanks!
Yes, but I do not use a "typical" lutherie oil. I have tried many different oiles and found a "heavy duty" oil/wax mixture which is thought to be used on wooden floors in public buildings. It's a film building oil and it does it pretty fast. The wood is almost completely sealed after the first coat, the following coats already start to build up.
The manufaturer states that 3 coats are enough for wooden floors. I do not plan to walk on this guitar - thats why three coats are plenty enough....
