Thanks Daniel. I used Stew-Mac nitro cherry tint for the color. Turned out great!
How many coats? I know when I did my fretless, the first coat of that tint in clear lacquer was pink, and it didn't turn dark until I had about 3 coats on it.
Nice MacGyver solution on the saddles. If the screw holes bother you, just put screws in them for decoration. If anybody asks, I'm sure you can come up with an explanation (e.g, "it keeps the tone tight").
Lookin' pretty good Bill.But... I'm not sure if I like that neck pickup crossing the binding on the lower horn...
Damn purdy!!!!!!!!!!!
